There is currently a coin shortage nationwide. This is due to the mint shutting down amidst the Covid hysteria. The mint is now reopen & minting coins but it is taking a long time to get the coin liquidity back into the market. If this is the ultimate reason for the no change policy at Sawgrass it would be wiser & more customer friendly to have signs prominently placed that say something along the lines that due to the current coin shortage they need customers to either pay with exact change or cards. If this were more widely known, it would be easy for people to make their own determination, either grab some coins before heading out or decide to pay with a card. The option that Sawgrass has taken is unreasonable & will likely result in the current businesses' failure, in my opinion.

Your Fed link is from May 2021 plenty of change now. Coin shortage is now just another way to take advantage of customers. If I want to make a donation to charity I do it in my name!
