A Guaranteed Business Plan

At the local Casinoport grocery store we attend, a giant green monstrosity sits just beyond the cash register. A Coinstar machine. A machine designed to count coins and dispense almost as much in dollars as you put in in cents.

There's a business plan for you. To build a machine that counts coins for Americans who are too lazy or who cannot count their own coins and takes a 7% vig right off the top.

When I tried the old, "Do you have a quarter for two dimes" trick in elementary school, I couldn't find any takers. I should have, instead of using the "human touch" factor, just built a cold machine to do the same thing. People pay for that sort of convenience.
