The benefits from dumping you spare change into a cup at the end of each day are immeasurable.  Well; maybe not immeasurable, but probably equal to about $15 a month (~$.50/day).  That $15/month multiplied by 12 months is equal to $180 a year.  That’s like (2) rub-and-tugs worth of quarters.  Although I know that saving change has clear benefits, every now and then I  go a few months without using a change cup.  Over this period of time I save NO change.  But where the fuck does it all go?  Because I’m not throwing it into garbage cans.

Let’s hypothetically say that I went without a change cup for (3) months.  That’s three months worth of change that is NOT in a change cup.  That’s about $45 ($15/month*3 months) worth of change.  $45 of change is 180 quarters.  That’s a solid amount of quarters.  Yes, a lot of my change ends up in the cup holder of my car, but that’s usually like 20 coins, no where near 180.  If I took three months worth of a change cup and splashed it on my bedroom floor, it would create quite the mess.  But that mess never exists.  So I’ll ask again, where the fuck does all the change go?

A logical answer would be that we take the change and dump it into tip cups.   Not because we were satisfied with the Dunkin Donuts service, but rather we subconsciously don’t want to sound like a retarded child on allowance throughout the day.  I sure hope this isn’t the case.  That would mean over a 80 year lifetime I am tipping odd-ball workers a sum of $14,400.  ([$.5/ day] *[30 days] * [12 months] * [80 years]).  Fuck Me.
