TIL the $2 coin jar at my barber in Dayton was hiding a fee I never saw coming
I've paid cash for haircuts at the same shop on Wayne Ave for two years, and last Tuesday the owner pointed at my ten and said she could not break it because her change drawer was empty by noon. She explained that the card readers eat 3 percent and the bank branch inside the Kroger charges her $8 to get a roll of quarters, so she keeps a cash-only policy and a little jar labeled 'big bills.' I started carrying fives and singles after that, and suddenly my wait time dropped because she did not have to run next door. It turns out most folks who complain about cash-only spots never think about the person behind the counter doing the math. How do you all split your wallet between small bills and the occasional twenty?
