yeah im a toll collector.
giving us pennies, doesn’t really bother us.
And if anyone thinks that we will sit there and count $0.75 or $1.20 in pennies is sadly mistaken… we don’t give a fuck if we are $1-$5 bucks off a drawer.
Or if you really wanna piss the people off…when they are clearly being a smartass, by giving you change… i will count it really, really slow… and if they attempt to drive off, Ill get on the radio with a “trooper”, to tell them a patron is leaving early before i can verify the toll :lol:
In a couple months working, I have never had anyone just give me pennies…sure foreigners giving you cups full of change isn’t out of the ordinary but pennies…no.
Its not even the toll collectors fault the rates went up. Just like gas, and prices of stuff in general…everything has to raise.
THE THRUWAY HAS NOT HAD A PRICE INCREASE FOR OVER 20 YEARS!
Do you really think that everything else should rise in price the past 20 years (cars, food, clothes, taxes, gas, everythign else) but not tolls?
Tolls pay for… maintenance, thruway workers, tow truck drivers, STATE POLICE, toll collectors, and everything else you could think of that has to deal with the thruway.
So next time, you get a flat, or need the troopers to come for an accident u got in… be glad you paid the extra 10 cents.
