I love that the justification is that places won't make change. Three foolproof steps to successfully obtaining change from a convenience store (clerks hate him!): (a) make a purchase, (b) pay with a $20, (c) ask for a roll back instead of the $10 and the clerk will drop one out of the safe for you. When 30 seconds of your time exceeds $7 in value, implying you make $7 million per year, buy a washer. EDIT: Before you start relying on this shit, heed the founder's subtle hint that he's not going to operate this business for very long: https://twitter.com/calebrown/status/479814086537281536 https://twitter.com/calebrown/status/479814086537281536

Personally, my going rate is about a quarter per roll, up to a dollar depending on which clothes are now my limiting factor and how badly I need them. (Two dimes buys a roll at my local grocer, which seems like a tolerable fee for their inconvenience.) Now, if you want to be galled by the price, perhaps comparing it to the US Mint would help? I reckon the parent service is charging just about a third to half of what the mint charges for collector's grade coins [1] (depending on shipping). I think that's a fairly unflattering comparison. Even though I have some anxiety about asking a store clerk for something out of the ordinary, an extra roll of quarters for every four rolls is probably worth it.
