David Bowie reference aside, perhaps you too, as a way of sticking it to the man for subjecting you to the indoors on a gorgeous day, start coming up with inane ideas, looking for good Family Guy quotes online, and doing other pointless things. Essentially, anything to make the time go faster and to avoid the work you really need to be doing.
I’ve been staring at this pile of pennies that has managed to grow quite large over the past few months. I’d like their net worth of $4 to be in paper form, so I thought about those TV ads for Chevy Chase Bank that advertise their Change Express coin change machines. Because am I really going to use these labor-intensive paper coin rolls to cash in? Nope.
A little research showed that D.C. Metblogs beat us to the punch a few months back. Though Wayan recounted a good experience with the machine and graciously mentioned cookies and Powerball, he didn’t note where any of the machines were located. And according to a Chevy Chase representative, they aren’t located in every branch. So we thought we’d pull up a few addresses for you. Make use of this fine summer day that you’re having to spend inside a cubical: round up all your change, and zip off to one of these Chevy Chase branches around the city in the near future. The Chevy Chase hours aren’t all that splendid, but the service is free for both customers and non-customers, and your wallet will thank you.
