Coinstar Finds

For coinstar in our area I was told that the coinstar folks take the coins. Not true, I think the drivers keep them. I just get after the kids who sticks their hands under the machine. There is a lot of broken glass and other things under the machine and just for the safety factor I get after the munchkins. if they reach into the reject thing, I let them. I have heard silver but people are getting wiser and keeping the rejects. Bummer.

I have not seen broken glass under there, even in the ghetto areas. I do see all kinds of weird things, but never broken glass. I would recommend a tool for those people, like a long tape measure from Home Depot. They can use that and now the safety issue is no longer applicable.

The reason why people keep the rejects is because all new machines remind people to take them, but the older ones didn't.

I looked under the grate in the one at the grocery store and there was a mini USB drive ?!
 

Sunday seems to be a good day to check Coinstars. Today certainly was for me. An older gent was just finishing unloading a few baggies worth so I hung around the produce area nearby until he was done. He walked away with his receipt and I pounced on a nice, full reject tray.

The broken glass is from our Self check outs lanes are right near the Coinstar. Someone is always breaking a glass jar of something and those bits and pieces get underneath the registers and the coinstar that you can't clean up until you physically move the machine and then not always. And that's so true about the newer machines.
