i remember when this happened. there is a youtube vid, they ultimately didnt accept it as payment. He had to go collect them all and bring them home. Wait...that was a speeding violation, this is different

 

He must have a lot of free time.

 

This is about an hour from me. Lmao! He went the extra mile and sunk a bunch of extra money into this stunt. Everyone hates the DMV, but 99% of the time it's not the poor teller's fault.

 

It cost him over $800 to perform this stunt. Wonder how many thousands of wheats, maybe an IHC or two etc are in that bunch?

 

That's an attention getter! Governor, I hope you're listening... The people ain't happy!



And for those that think those dmv clerks make $10 an hour - you are sadly mistaken. They are paid much more than the average teller / clerk, they get huge benefits packages, and their work output is far below par of a private industry handling the same type of transactions.

DMV - Definite Money Vacuum

 

Freaking love it! That takes nerve.

 

These stories usually make me laugh and then I think of the selfishness and pettiness of these people. I wonder how much money they spent having workers count cents instead of tend to more important matters. Why don't they call a couple numismatists? We'd search and count for them for free (so long as we get to do a 1-for-1 when we want).

 

Usually these things happen after a long comedy of errors. Most people want to spend as little time in government offices as possible. I'm pretty sure this wasn't just a one time deal, but a horror story of uncaring clerks that didn't take into consideration that he *IS* their customer - even if there is no competition.

I'd be willing to bet that there was a long and drawn out history, and the DMV continually made the dude jump through needless hoops, delays and wasted hours before he was angry enough to do this.

 

"Yes sir we will take them, rolled with your name, tax bill number, and phone number printed on each roll. No sir you may not use our counting machine."

 

It's the DMV's job to make us all miserable. A-duh!

 

I was at a Wells Fargo store this week and they told me they are getting rid if their coin counting machines. Stupid.

 

How much?

 

All of them

 

A lot of places are outsourcing that stuff. It's all about overhead costs.

 

Excuse me?

 

I think he wanted to know much he could get one for.

 

Ok
