Man tries to pay ticket with pennies, gets choked and it hits the fan

[Blankpage]

Coinstar?

I hardly ever deal in cash, everything goes on a CC so the amount of pennies I'd handle in a year wouldn't amount to a buck.

 

[Holeshot]

Exactly, dipshit must think taxpayers should absorb the credit card processing fee. :rolleyes

Fuck that puto.

17.5%? That's a hell of a processing fee.

I don't deal with pennies, I just throw them in the trash or on the ground for whoever wants to make the effort to pick them up.

I'm the guy who picks them up...if only for the free wish.

 

[aminalmutha]

He pooed so he could wipe his arse with the ticket.

don't hate the player, hate the merchant service processors

 

[AbsolutEnduser]

.. to some people ..a shiny coin has a non negligible parking or laundry value.
Well pennies I might not pick up, agreed. Oh wait BRB, counting the pre 81 pennies nao!!!!!

Coinstar machine?? Is that the one in Safeway where it takes a fee out?

 

[Kurosaki]

I pick up and save coins from cash transactions all the time... Usually amounts to a case of beer once a month.

Yeah. But they have merchant agreements that charge no fee if you select a gift card.

Easier to take your jar o coins to your bank.

Yes if you want cash, no if you want a gift card.

How about Ticketmaster's fee?

Easier to take your jar o coins to your bank.

But more embarrassing.

Easy to avoid the embarrassment by wearing a mask.

 

[Reli]

Or a helmet!

 

[2strokeYardSale]

As usual, there is two sides to this story and we're only seeing one side. What would motivate a trained law enforcement officer to grab a person and choke them out?
What did the arrestee do?
My guess, and this is only a guess, is that the guy took a swipe at the officer. There is a moment when both the officer and the arrestee are hidden behind a wall on the sally port.
Dooshes get treated like dooshes.

If only there were video. Maybe video from multiple angles, that would be even better.

 

[Holeshot]

Hahaha!

And Ticketmaster. :LOL!

 

[wazzuFreddo]

Hahaha!

And Ticketmaster. :LOL!

lol, Tickemaster

an extra $5 convenience fee for printing the ticket out at home on your own damn paper. diabolical :laughing

 

[Holeshot]

Hahaha! No wonder they sent Antitrust after them.

 

[Ogier le Danois]

But more embarrassing.

Not if your favorite Welsh forest fire is working that day.

She know you got $40 in coins and literally hundreds of dollars in your account.

 

[mean dad]

:laughing

 

[Climber]

The clerks were in the wrong.

Yeah, he was pissed and took it out on them, but his penny's were legal payment so they don't legally have a leg to stand on by refusing to accept them.

I could not see anything in the video to support the guard choking him out, yeah there was a short period where the video didn't catch the action, but to believe that he did something at exactly that position gives him far too much credit for knowing the line of site of the videos.

IMHO, he said something to the guards that pissed them off and they took it out on him. If anybody knew what the line of site of the camera was, it would have been the security guards...

The city is going to have to pay.

 

[Eldritch]

Legal tender yes, but no one is required by any state or federal law to accept it. Hence no bill larger than $20 after 10:00pm, or $100 bills not accepted. Not taking your pennies. Get over it.

Poop man was angry, irrational and took it out on the clerk. The dude in the uniform acted the same way except he got physical. The county will pay. Question is will Poop Man accept the award in pennies? :teeth

OMG, you are a fucking GENIUS. They should pay the settlement in a truckload of pennies. :laughing

I worked registers part time at the Naval Post Graduate School exchange store when I was in high school for a little bit, never once had to count a sealed roll.

Interesting, were you a Federal Employee, or was the store just a contract agent running its own operation for the Navy?

Gubment check, IIRC, with Dept of Defense on it, but mostly "The Naval Post Graduate School of Monterey" was what I saw... and when I'd go cash it at the bank new tellers would always look at me cross-eyed for some reason.

It was a typical one page application to fill out, but I was told about the job by a friend of my father's. The only test I was given was to see if I could count change back. I could.

I did it for about 3 months, but since I didn't have a car/bike at the time I quit when I found a job closer to home that I could walk to.

When the money would get picked up from the store it was protected by federal police that would patrol the area when it was more open. (This was late 70's, it's all sealed up now.)

 

[Junkie]

Doesn't look like he does anything at all except push through the door. The guy grabs him from behind at that point.

He'll get paid, and rightfully so. Hard to argue a choking to unconsciousness is necessary when somebody is exiting the building and is in front of you. Regardless of how much lip somebody is giving, that's not justification for what is essentially assault. You can kill somebody that way.

It isn't covered in every article, but the cops then charged him with assaulting an officer. Charges were later dropped.

Dirty, and totally par for the course.

maybe they decided that shitting on someone who chokes you out isn't assault :dunno
