<p>[QUOTE="jmon, post: 657101, member: 19422"]I say kudos kiddo! I only wish he would have opened the two boxes too - give em 8,800 unrolled pennies and then insisted on counting them out himself. While I am in business and would hate to have someone come in with such a mess.... I would have to laugh, fuss and accept it. The only thing that upsets me about this whole thing is that, from what I can gather, it occupied three (or more) police officers for roughly 45 min. That is a waste of resources, time, and money. I can see where the blame on that topic could be assigned to any of the parties involved, including the police. </p><p> </p><p>As to the debate back and forth whether a business can refuse payment or not. Yes, they can refuse it; however, they would wind up in the hot seat if it went to court. As hontonai mentioned earlier, the fact that this is a debt negates the merchants right to refuse the business/sale. I don't know what the costs to the merchant would be, but, it is very fair to say they would be much higher than the labor involved in counting 8,800 pennies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
