[QUOTE="silentnviolent, post: 1708207, member: 8797"]No. That's akin to theft. He's not a reposessor. He's at best no good at his job, at the lesser of two evils, l-a-z-y, at worst on some stupid power trip. The law says that if legal tender money is offered, but not accepted for whatever policy at any given business, the person cannot be penalized in any way as if they hadn't HAD the money to pay. Nor is the debt erased. It only protects the patron from being charged with theft or incurring interest as long as the debt is paid in a reasonable timeframe. The most amiable solution would be to have had you sign a simple form with your plate numbers and drivers license # or make a copy of the license. In that situation where they Do Not Accept Coins I think that is appropriate. But of course, if its just a LAZY person who doesn't want to count change how could they ever be expected to make a copy of a drivers license? :rolling:[/QUOTE]
