They weren’t in rolls, he threw the pennies on the ground.
No one would do anything UNTIL...I told them that I got turned down for a loan. Then everyone started talking to each other and straightened the damn thing out. The CREDIT BUREAU even called the loan company!!
They claimed I owed $ 250 dollars and I claimed I was over charged.
My lawyer looked at the situation, agreed that I was right, but told me to pay because it would be too expensive to legally dispute it.
My lawyer confirmed that it was legal to pay in pennies.
I had to pre-order 25,000 pennies in bags that contained $50 worth each and weighed {I think about 80 pounds per bag}.
I rented a dolly, built a 4'x 4'x 2' wooden box and waited until 4:45 PM on a Friday night and after dumping the pennies from the bags into the wooden box that was already on the dolly I pushed the whole ensemble into the dealers accounting office to pay my bill.
After many harsh words, the dealer and his assistant started to count the pennies.
They quit after the first five dollars.
He gave me a receipt, marked paid in full and since I had been a very good customer before this happened, I made it my business to relate the story of the service dispute to any of my friends and/or contacts that would inquire as to why I switched my dealership both for business as well as personal cars.
I bought {or leased} 2 -3 cars every year for my business and this dope lost that revenue stream because of a service dispute that could have easily been resolved {but he forgot that I was the customer and his dumb ass brother was the service manager}.
