  • Cash for coin..

    From August Abolins@1:153/149.42 to All on Thu Oct 16 06:38:02 2025
    Just got back from the credit union to get coin. Very disappointing experience. First of all, they needed to look up my account even though I was paying cash. They said it was to record WHO they were receiving money from. I assume they assume the person on the other side of the till is potentially giving them counterfeit? They even asked me to confirm my account on their system with my date of birth.

    Could be because of many people in out world can't be trusted.

    When I leave the house I lock my door.
    Same o, same o when I leave my car, those doors all get locked too
