Kate Winslet Cashing In Change


I am pretty sure that Kate Winslet is not having to dig through sofas and purses for loose change so she can order something off the dollar menu at McDonald's. But, yesterday, Kate Winslet along with her two kids were at a Chase Bank in New York City trying to turn two buckets of change into bills.

According to the NY Daily News, the teller refused to do so because Kate didn't have an account and I guess has never seen the machines in every store which take all your change and give you bills. To her credit, Kate did not pull out the do you know who I am card. Instead a man behind her offered to exchange the change for bills so Kate would not have to carry the buckets back home.

When Kate thanked the man she took off her sunglasses and the man recognized her and asked if she was Kate Winslet. She said yes. How sweet.

Here is the thing. I think the guy knew she was Kate Winslet. Are you going to just pass over bills in exchange for buckets of change to a stranger without knowing how much is actually in the buckets? Really? He knew. It is still nice of him, but he had to know.
