Today, I had to empty out my coin jar to pay for gas. Trying to be considerate, I only brought quarters, but the cashier refused to take it because they didn't want to count out my $10. I don't know how I'll get to work today. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had to pay my bus fare in very small change. After carefully counting out coins under the withering glares of a bus-load of people, I quickly slid them into the machine, and somehow ended up jamming it. FML
Today, I was so broke, I couldn't come up with enough change to pay the parking meter at my job. FML
Today, I rang up a customer’s items. The total came out to $24.67. She handed me a bag full of coins and looked at me expectantly. I asked if she had any other payment methods; she got irritated and said ,“If I did, I wouldn’t have given you this, stupid!” I had to count them. She was still 6 dollars short. FML
Today, while at the vending machine, I put in my $20 instead of my $1. I got my change back in quarters. FML
Today, I pulled into the gas station to fill up only to realize I had forgot my wallet. By the time I went home, got it, and came back, the price had gone up eleven cents. FML
Today, at my retail job, a woman came to my till with her purchases. After I scanned all her items, she handed me two small bags. One was filled with nickels and dimes. The other was filled with cents. Her total was $28.53. The coins amounted to $22.30. FML
Today, I'm so poor that I've been scrounging around my house all day trying to find quarters and dimes so that I can buy myself a cup of coffee tomorrow. FML
Today, I had an elderly man come to my cash register. His total came to $15.50 He handed me $5 in nickels and dimes. A full roll of quarters. Before I could take the roll, he bust it open, making me count it. After that was all counted he was 50 cents short. So he handed me a $10 bill. FML
Today, I handed a middle-aged woman her change of $0.75 with three quarters. She looked at the change bewildered and threw the coins down, asking if she thought I could get away with only giving her thirty cents. I had to explain to her how much a quarter is worth. FML
Today, a lady came into my workplace to pay her $120 bill in one dollar bills. I kept losing count. FML

Coins are legal tender. By law, they have to be accepted.

why don't you count it yourself and present them in groups of four instead of giving them the big ass pile of coins

You should complain to a manager. That's really wrong.

It's actually illegal for them to refuse ANY legal tender (which includes all coins) for a purchase.

This is one of those times where you have to use your a-hole card and ask for a manager. It would have taken less than two minutes to count that out.

Yep, what others have said, coins are technically cash, and can't be refused. Plus, what a lazy idiot. It's simple to count quarters. File a complaint.

wow that is some lazy ass cashier! I thought they had to accept any type of "legal tender". I once had to use 40 pennies to pay for gas, no lie. I certainly empathize wirh you!
