Kroger Tells Customers to Have Exact Change or Donate the Difference

Buddy, can you spare a dime? Or a quarter, or a nickel, or a penny? Supermarket giant Kroger (NYSE: KR) is no longer giving coins as change at many of its stores and will require customers who pay in cash to either have exact change or donate the difference to its Zero Hunger Zero Waste foundation.

Because the coronavirus pandemic has apparently created a shortage of coins in circulation, the largest U.S. supermarket chain is encouraging customers to use debit or credit cards to pay for their orders. Customers can also opt to have the change loaded onto their loyalty cards and have it automatically applied to their next purchase.
