A business owner in Georgia was apparently so upset at a former employee that he paid his final paycheck with a pile of pennies in his driveway.
According to reports, the owner of Peachtree City’s A OK Walker Autoworks dumped $915 worth of pennies in the former employee’s driveway:
Flaten said he left his job at Peachtree City’s A OK Walker Autoworks in November. He said he was owed the final check and had difficulty getting it, even turning to the Georgia Department of Labor to receive help.
In mid-March, Flaten said as he left his house with his girlfriend he noticed the pile at the end of his driveway. He said the pennies were covered with some sort of oily substance.
Now his nightly routine consists of cleaning the pennies so he can cash them in. He said it took him about an hour and a half to clean off several hundred.
“I think that’s going to be a lot of work for money I’ve already worked for,” he said. “It’s definitely not fair at all.”
The owner of the shop, Miles Walker, spoke with WGCL-TV briefly, stating he didn’t know if he did or didn’t drop the pennies off at Flaten’s house.
“I don’t really remember,” Walker told the TV station. “It doesn’t matter he got paid, that’s all that matters.”
Walker went on to call Flaten a “weenie.”
Flaten’s girlfriend posted videos on her Facebook account:
