No Change For You: AMC Theaters “Doesn’t Carry Nickels?” – Consumerist
Apparently, AMC doesn’t carry nickels (uh, duh, see the headline above). Presumably, then, they don’t carry pennies, either. And why should they? When a teensy tray of nachos costs $8, and you’re already being ripped off (fer fuck’s sake — maybe get rid of the 9,823,745 flat screens showing a static menu, and charge a bit less), why would anyone care about five cents? And why the hell would anyone care about one cent? They fucking wouldn’t.
There are a number of people passing through my apartment on a regular basis, and three or four or five people here on a regular basis. These people obviously don’t care about pennies at all, because when I go to vacuum (and I’m the only one that ever does it, by the way…), there are 982,734 pennies on the floor. I have to stop every time I find one to bend over and pick it up. The value of a penny is now less than the amount we’d expect to be paid to bend over. Seriously. If someone was to ask me to bend over, I’d demand… at least a quarter. And if you ask me… any denomination of currency that the average person can’t be bothered to reach down to the ground to pick up… That denomination has no sense existing. The sooner we eliminate the penny, the sooner my back rejoices.
Removing the penny from our currency would be catastrophic! Think about all the 99 cent stores that would go out of business!
Convienence stores would have to return all their “give a penny, take a penny” jars.
It would be more chaotic than Y2K.

Don’t blame movie theaters for the steep food price as it’s not their fault. They don’t receive much if any profit from ticket sales. The theater exists off profit from food and drink sales. So yes, damn Hollywood and their wasted endeavors at making retarded movies and in the end wasting everyones money.

dyslexia can be pretty funny sometimes. I am able to read mostly by context and assuming words. I can read very quickly, but there are times when I make mistakes. Like when I read the title of this entry as…
“Okay, fuck. It’s time to eliminate penises.”

Well, it’s time to eliminate penises as well. I hear they’ve been making advances towards allowing to women to produce children…
I don’t blame theatres per se, but they could definitely save me a few nickels by keeping the temperature above freezing, and not installing all those televisions.

I couldn’t agree with you more. Round everything off to the nearest 5 cents and call it a day. The only thing pennies are good for are smashing on train tracks and throwing in in wishing wells.

People are always saying… if you save 100 pennies, you’ve got a dollar. And what exactly will that dollar buy? Certainly not a trip to the chiropractor, to fix the back you’ve fucked up by bending over 100 times.

OH MY GOD YOU GUYS GET RID OF ALL COINS. I FUCKING HATE COINS.

A bit extreme, maybe. But I can’t say I’m really against the idea. Get rid of cash altogether!
