Would this be rude?
Posted by Old-Distance-8596@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 18 comments
I've found a few incomplete bags of change in the back of a drawer. The bank won't take incomplete bags and I'm too lazy to count out to buy a pack of polos now and then. Can I put a whole bag of change in a tip jar? Or is that shoddy?

Banks will take incomplete bags of change. They have a scale that weighs them and tells the cashier how much is in there. It is obvious but I will say that each bag needs to only contain one type of coin, so all pennies together etc.

The scale will tell them if it's a full bag or not. I've had bags refused if they're not full.

Maybe different banks have different policies then but my bank will take incomplete bags because the scale tells them the exact amount
sihasihasi@reddit
Yeah, maybe.

Why would it be rude to tip someone in any way?

Take them to a charity shop. That's what I did with all my change.

Most bank branches have a pay-in machine you can dump a jar of coins in. You get all the money in your account, unlike those CoinStar ones in supermarkets that take 20%.
I have literally poured £120 in change into an RBS pay-in machine before.

I just take a handful of change to every food shop and chuck it in the self checkout, then pay the rest by card.

Just go to a coinstar machine... They have them in loads of supermarkets.
RiClious@reddit
They charge 20%
Bit steep!

Rude? If you feel like doing it then do it, if others think it's rude that's their problem.
playfulhotyx@reddit
Just find a self-service checkout and dump it in, problem solved!

You can't take 5 to minutes out of your day to count change?
365BlobbyGirl@reddit
they'll take them as long as they're sorted, they don't need to be to.full value.

Rather than tips, I would give it to a deserving charity. Some supermarkets also use to have machines where you could change them into vouchers for a cut.

Self service checkouts are my go to
