When I worked retail if people needed quarters they’d give me dollars to trade in. Maybe try that?

Bank is only place I can think of. My old place used to have coin laundry like that but landlord will exchange with us when he take out coins.

Constantly use cash at places and ask for an extra dollar (in addition to your change) in quarters.

Oh interesting. I’ve never thought to do that because it wasn’t until recently that they started doing cash check out. I need to get some stuff at the store so maybe I’ll try that. Thanks!

The self checkout at the wal mart. Pay with cash. Buy whatever you want and it will feed you change. Or maybe the stop & shop is easier, with the self checkout machine because groceries aren’t taxed, so you just add it up and make sure it’s not some useless amount like $19.98 where you’ll get 2 cents back.

I don’t think it completely adds up, but I’m the youngest person in my building and definitely the only person who would say something about either changing from quarters to a new system or lessening the amount. Could be worth it at some point but I’ve gotten this far haha

Yeah unfortunately (I mentioned this somewhere else idk where) they’re an elderly couple and one of them is having a major health crisis so I don’t want to bother them about quarters. Feels a little meaningless when someone was just on the brink of death, ya feel me?

I haven’t thought about how much energy and water is used for a load of laundry.

Yeah unfortunately I can’t go to a laundromat due to issues with scents and allergies, asthma, and migraines. I’ll see about their coin machine tho! Thanks

Thanks! I moved from Colorado so just recently switched to a local bank here. My bank was local to CO and charged ATM fees, was a pain. The hours of banks can be useless when you work a full time job.

So the landlord must have lots of quarters.

There was a coin shortage during covid so maybe that’s why places aren’t giving you coins. My old landlord eventually switched to machines that took coins or you could pay via Bluetooth from an app, it was kind of cool.
Where are you located? I used to go to Laundry Club on the east side about once every couple of months. I would get a ton of quarters, do one wash/dry there, and go back when I was out of quarters. They’d charge you if you just used the quarter machine.

Put away enough stray carts at Aldi and you'll be able to do your laundry!

I never had a problem at Navigant CU, so join a credit union.

I mean, I still use cash for shit so that helps. But honestly, any bar (that isn't an intentional pool hall like Snookers, RI Billiards or Bo's) that has pool tables will generally have a converter machine as well since they tend to be quarter fed tables.

Don’t worry if they are annoyed or not. If you’re a customer of theirs, it’s literally their job to help you. If you don’t want to spring it on them in the moment, you can order them ahead of time. Call your local branch, let them know you need quarters. Order as much as you want and schedule a pick up.

How is this possible? It’s a bank. They provide change as a service all the time.

LOL sadly I actually like my landlords and don’t want to piss them off. They’re a nice elderly couple, so the key thing might be the better idea. Just reuse quarters already there!

I think I like it. I like the use of white and grey. Very good.
