Have you ever been so poor you paid for your grocery items in all coins?

I bought a 6 pack of ramen, a pack of hotdogs and buns in all coins at the self checkout. I didn't want anyone to get stuck behind me.

Yep I paid in change for a few groceries, thankfully the cashier was very understanding and nice, and it was late at night so there weren't any people in line.

my family supports me because im still in school, but generally im pretty poor rn. i tend to be in debt all the time thanks to school books and fees
SW-User
@SW-User Be glad you have a family the cares about and supports you.

@SW-User i am. i would be fucked without them
SW-User
Fuck other people, their dumb fat asses can afford to stand for an extra 2 minutes. I always use the normal check out lines. Self check outs are a pain to use.
SW-User
@SW-User I prefer self checkouts because if I have very little money I can watch my spending easier. I can also decide what to put back easier too.

@SW-User Anything you can do to improve the situation?
SW-User
@suchaslife If I got a secondary job or quit a certain thing I'd be better off.

@SW-User You have your answer! I have two jobs and school
Recluse · 46-50, M
Yes.
How do you pay for the service that lets you come here to ask these questions?
SW-User
@Recluse I come on via my phone. I'm not on very often. Usually pop in every once in awhile. I do have a job I just don't make a whole lot.
SW-User
Yes, I have. It's hard to live that way.
SW-User
Yes it happened.

When I was younger yup. I used to be a mystery shopper which you will get paid 5 or 10 bucks to eat some fast food for free then do a 20 min write up about it.
