Kroger won’t give change in coins for now

[97]Coronavirus

Nationwide coin shortage from less production, less spending

by: KOIN 6 News Staff
Posted: Jul 14, 2020 / 10:34 AM PDT / Updated: Jul 14, 2020 / 10:34 AM

Coins (Public Domain Pictures/Theodore Palser)

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Blame it on the pandemic. There are fewer coins
in circulation.

Workers at the US Mint, which makes the country’s coins, are operating
at a reduced production rate because of precautionary measures taken to
protect them from the virus. Coins are also accumulating in the homes —
and pockets — of people leery of going out in public, [98]CBS News
reports.

That’s why some retailers, like [99]Kroger (which owns [100]Fred Meyer)
aren’t giving coins in change to their customers anymore. But customers
are getting the money they’re due.

Customers can use a debit or credit card instead of cash and the coin
change can be loaded onto their loyalty card for the next time they’re
shopping, Jeffrey Temple with Fred Meyer told KOIN 6 News.

There are other options, too. Customers can get their coin change at a
lane with coins available or they can “round up their order to support
[101]The Kroger Co. Zero Hunger | Zero Waste Foundation, a public
charity committed to creating communities free of hunger and waste,” he
said in a statement.

On June 17, US [102]Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said, “What’s
happened is that with the partial closure of the economy, the flow of
coins through the economy has… kind of stopped.”

Other grocers have implemented similar policies in light of the unusual
shortage, including Wawa, a chain of 850 convenience stores that has
also asked patrons to pay with exact change, [103]CBS News said.

Should you keep filing for unemployment while working?

by Lindsay Nadrich / Jul 16, 2020

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — For many Oregonians who have gone months
without any money to pay their bills, uncertainty about the future is
the largest source of stress.

KOIN 6 News has received several emails about the waiting week and when
that will be waived. Oregon Employment Department officials previously
blamed their old computer system, saying it would take thousands upon
thousands of hours to upgrade — which could delay benefits even longer.

Long journey: Nurse gets COVID in March, now out of ICU

by Jacquelyn Abad, KOIN 6 News Staff / Jul 16, 2020

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- It's been a long, tough journey for Jose
Jimenez and his family. In March, the Oregon nurse and veteran tested
positive for COVID-19 and his health quickly declined.

Jose’s doctors believed a donation of convalescent plasma could help
him recover and they reached out to local blood banks to find it. The
problem was that Jose has a rare blood type: AB positive.

Gov. Brown: ‘It’s clear school in fall will not look normal’

by KOIN 6 News Staff / Jul 16, 2020

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- With about 5 weeks before school districts are
scheduled to begin fall classes, Gov. Kate Brown said Thursday "it has
become clear that school this fall will not look like a normal year."

School districts around the state have been working to give parents as
much information as early as they can about what classes will look like
for students during the ongoing pandemic. Brown said "many, if not most
Oregon students" will have online distance learning or a hybrid of
in-person and online classes.
