We have company this weekend, so no CRHing tomorrow. This is a killer for me as Friday and Saturday are pretty much the only days I can do any kind of volume. Today was supposed to be my half day at work...get off at noon. This morning I was informed that I would need to work until a little after 2pm. So 3:10 rolls around and I'm able to get out of work. Pick up two boxes and I go to dump $500 in Brinks clear wrapped dimes. I'm heading to the coin counter like I normally do when the teller calls me over and offer to take the dimes like they were. As she's going through the rolls the head teller comes up and the subordinate teller that's helping me asks her "Do you think taking this back is fine?" The head teller holds up two of my dime rolls and says "I don't know...This one looks shorter than this one. I don't think it looks right." I'm like, man, way to call out my integrity right to my face. The head teller says "Did you get these from here?" to which I responded "No, these are from Brinks. I think you guys are Garda, right?" Almost like, Hello! Garda has paper wrappers! The ones that you use every day! Then the subordinate teller says "Yeah, sorry, we're gonna have to have you run it through the coin machine." I say "That's fine.", just trying to keep things cool. Actually, I'm kinda mad about it though. It's like 445pm, and the bank closes at 5pm drive thru and all - and I know if I put a handful in at a time it should take about 20 minutes, but I also know if I put in all $500 it's going to take forever...<DUMP!!> So I dump them all in there at once and go sit down while the coin counter runs. I can tell when it gets to be about a quarter after that everyone is looking pretty unhappy with the coin guy holding them up from their weekend plans. The head teller is standing next to the coin counter watching every dime get counted...even taking my rejects and placing them back in the pot about every 5 minutes. So it finishes and the total is $492.30!!! Then I remembered this is that same coin counter I used last week and put 5 rolls of dimes in and the total came to $24.30! ARE YOU SERIOUS??? I started laughing out loud and say slowing "I know what this looks like, but this coin machine is seriously off..." She says real smug like "Oh, is that it?" I was SOOO mad inside. I thought about what this bank meant to me and how they were already a bit of a drive for me and I DID find a bank with coin counter that was like 10x's faster and much closer...so yeah. She closing down the coin machine with another guy. I say "So what happens when when you send this bag off to Garda and they find out that you gave them more dimes than you claim you did?" She says "Oh, I don't know. We never hear back from them." Then the guy pull out a handful of dimes from inside the machine. I was pretty happy to see them. "Well there you go!" Then he says "It's only this much..." It was like $1.50 or so...I'm just frustrated and I told her I didn't appreciate her calling out my integrity and I know that machine's jacked. But honestly, at the end of the day, she's going to feel like she was able to save her bank $7.70 from that punk coin collector by staying until 5:40pm. You try to do it right and stuff like this happens! I did find a couple Roosies today, so I guess it was worth it, right?

Ouch...

Ya that was one drawback for dimes, is they get miscounted often... I had the problem of them being counted as cents... only maybe 10 out of 1000$ worth, but still that adds up and cuts into your profit, especially when a silver dime is only at 1.40$ right now. lol

Just shake it off. There is no reason in getting mad about it. It happens. It's part of life. Just because you ha a bad day doesn't mean to tomorrow can't be better ;)

The other bank is faster and closer, thats a no brainer.

Yeah, man. Just found this bank last Saturday. Pretty pumped about it. I have 4 weeks of CRH left here in the big city, so hopefully I'll be able to use this new dump bank effectively.

I was shorted $105 on a bag of quarters once. All told I'm up around $10K on CRHing. Not a bad hobby if you ask me. This sort of thing, just part of the game IMO, no matter how bitter the experience.

Yeah, I think I just got caught up in the whole "you're calling out my integrity." It wasn't really about the money today.

Yup, I hear ya. I've had it happen a few times myself. Once I went back to the same teller a few weeks later, asked for CWRs and asked her to count them all out in front of me...to be sure the totals were accurate. :laughing7: ....they were not, of course. :laughing7:

She got the idea pretty fast.

Seriously though,in my area we mostly do coinlock bags referenced to our account number, so all accountability goes there.

You should have asked her if it was worth the $7.70 to keep paying all of her employees for an extra 40 minutes while she ran your dimes.

It was to her some people some people don't care.:BangHead: Money didn't come out of her pay. But when the big dogs see all the OT crap is going to hit the fan on her.:laughing7:

I always dump dimes in smaller groups for that exact reason.

Encouraging news for this disastrous week...I just went and picked up four boxes real quick before we started today's scheduled activities with our company. Gotta do it! haha... Probably go through them tonight or tomorrow.
