My girlfriend does the dumping of the pennies and I pick up at a different branch, the other week she was at a family event and could not dump pennies. Last Friday she took in a bucket of pennies as usual but we got there about 30 minutes earlier than usual, I wait in the car and it seemed like it took er forever to dump the pennies. When she came out I asked what took so long and she said that the machin was full and they ad to change bags. The bank employee that changes the bags said she was upset that she was not in last week and they missed her, she also appologized for not having the bags changed before she got there. Hopefully that is a sign that we will not be loosing our dump bank anytime soon, it has been a full year since we started sorting

Lucky you!

This is crazy talk....a dump bank upset that you DIDN'T come in with a load of zincolns!

I have 3 close dump branches and 3 within 12-15 miles. Another 6 or 7 within 20 miles. (I usually have some pennies to dump whenever I'm out.)

So, 12 or 13...maybe a couple more dump locations and I only get issues at ONE. ONLY ONE!!!!!! And it's the closest to my house. They freakin' hate me. You wouldn't think changing a couple of bags would do that to an entire branch.

They must have the worse boss in the world.

It's funny to me because all of the other branches just LOVES me!!!! (I mean who wouldn't!!!!)

Wow, you completely lost me when you said you have a girlfriend that does your penny dumping for you. The only thing my wife does is write checks/credit cards and help empty out the bank account.......

I sure thought this post was gonna be in a different direction! lol Lucky you that they actually missed you and that was what made them mad.

Wow now that is funny. It is the same for me. The bank up on the corner hates me as well and all of my other 15-20 banks have no issue.

My daughter and I do a long-haul dump on most Saturdays (72 miles round trip). We leave at 8:30 in the morning and about 10:30 we stop at the gun range to eat lunch (our half-way point). normally get home by noon. Makes for great father/daughter time.

Gonna hit my favorite dump here in about an hour....got about $300 face in cents plus $200 in nickels.

I'll be armed with donuts and munchkins.

Haha, that's the way to go!

Stonewall, do you butter up this branch with chocolate or something? Just curious as to what you think may have made them so friendly.

They still love me!!!!

.......or the munchkins!!!!!


Dump was $400+

I think the one woman that is in charge of changing the bag is just very nice, that is the only thing we use that bank for. I have actually never even been in that branch and she does er her deposits and such at a different branch. I was always worried about dumping there because that is the largest branch and they are pretty busy. One time she said "I'm not even going to ask why you bring in pennies every week, I ave a son with autism and he likes going through change"


The brancthat h I pick up at is very small, when I pick up my pennies on Friday evening I am usually te only customer there. The last couple weeks they had my pennies on the counter waiting. I guess things might change if I did a large amount. I pick up three box a week so usually only dump about 55.00, 77.00 was the most we ever dumped.

Good working policy for heavy duty coin dumpers! We (wife and I) just a little handsorting, but a box of candy once in awhile at a few banks we use and at the one we use for dumping, makes people remember you, and smile when you come in. Now that is the way I like things to be!

Roger that!

All the locations of Midfirst bank in my town are always happy to see me and never complain about changing the bags. I try to dump at different locations when I happen to be in that area so as not to overwhelm them
