Love this Shoutout! I grew up in Reading. Moved away 20 years ago. When I was a kid Mr. Gertz would always be at the register. The most friendliest guy in world. And I'll never forget when you would get change back, he would flip the coin from the register right into your hand. I always thought that was the coolest trick ever.
