Le Guignon Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) This is going to be a fun afternoon of going place to place in an attempt to acquire them. My plan: I have paper money for the purpose of getting quarters back. 1. Go to Plaid Pantry and buy something that's barely over $1.00 and pay with $2.00 ask for the change back in quarters. 2. If Plaid Pantry Plan fails I'm going to 711 and getting $5 cashbacks and I'm going to ask for three quarters. 3. Sneak in to the creepy laundromat after walking about a mile (I'm attempting to avoid public transportation unless necessary) and use their change machine if it's not down. 4. Walk another mile. Go to Fred Meyer and buy some stuff and try to get change back from there. 5. If my bank is still open see if they're will help without ID since I have my card and I'm only asking for three quarters. 6. Either wash my clothes by hand and dry them in the dryer or wash them in the washer and hang them to dry. Cry. Edited July 9, 2020 by Le Guignon

Raptorpat Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 but then the FBI will know of your massive fraudulent trickery
new_disease Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 Having to hunt for quarters sucks. I recently saw this so, I hope you're successful 🙏 https://www.businessinsider.com/coin-shortage-exact-change-credit-stores-coronavirus-2020-7
stilgar Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 I like that the laundromat near me doesn't need change and gives you a card you load with money.

I'm sure I can take like an hour bus ride or a 15 min Uber and find a laundry like but I also don't want to drag my clothes a mile up and down hill to the bus and spend $60 on Ubers...

If you can find a spot with vending machines I used to stick a couple dollars in them and push the change return button to get back quarters when I needed them. But there's the risk of the damn thing eating your money ;___; I wish you the best though

bnmjy Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 Makes me thankful my apartment uses a reloadable card for the machines.
Ginguy Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 If you are going to the bank just order a roll of quarters. Most banks are willing to do that if you are a customer.
Lasty Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 Dude... Just ask people if they have any quarters. When I was on the streets this was a skill I had to master. Not everyone will say yes, but if you stay positive someone will have those quarters. Or whatever else you might need. My favorite is asking people for their leftover food when they come out of restaurants. You can get some bomb shit.
Swimmod_Luna Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 I used to live at an apartment where the laundry machines only took quarters I did all my laundry at the laundromat because I use my credit card pretty much 100% of the time
Doom Metal Alchemist Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) I've never run into this problem with laundry.... parking meters though, are another story. Edited July 9, 2020 by Doom Metal Alchemist

I briefly contemplated asking the homeless I will inevitably encounter asking for money if they'd trade a quarter for a dollar. But if they don't have a quarter then I'm still going to be out a dollar because you can't just walk away from that. Also close human interaction? Bleh.

You need to learn to ask for help... They're just quarters; why is that a big deal?

I haven't seen any shortages here, though I typically just use a credit card for most things. Good luck, you can always buy a sweet tea/drink from McDonald's for a dollar and probably score your three quarters. Well, whatever you do, don't take laundry tips from Nabs.

You should be allowed to purchase a single roll of quarters once per week / every other week if it's a particularly hard hit area. As long as you aren't in there every single day or attempting more than a single roll, it should work. Worse case scenario, they move down to an offer of $5.00 in quarters which would still work for you. 1
