BAHAHAHAHA i wish i would have thought of that, ive been towed 4 different times. And what the fuck only $88. Damn its like $300 min. where i live. without the tickets. Next time i get towed, and yes there will be a next time, ill do this, and ill record it.
holy shit that's tallahassee bwahahahaha - I'm going to do the same shit if they pull it on me for parking in a weird way when I try to get to class. parking is so shitty around here
Ive been towed from a "towing sting" (Where they leave an unlit parking lot open, and wait for people to park there, then show up with 10 tow trucks and nail everyone in 10 minutes) and it made me fucking livid. I tried every law trick in the book to get my car back, and they were the absolute biggest cock face faggots in the world to me. I could only pay in cash. and it was 120.00. I wish I had seen this.
Towing is the biggest scam ever, and the people that do it are scum bags.

My friend owns a towing company and he won't do "infraction tows", only lockouts, breakdowns and shit of that nature. He really, really hates cops, has a carry permit for his .45 and they're all fucking terrified of him.
Might be something to do with the fact that he tells them straight up how much he hates their guts, what little faggots they are, basically just heaps abuse on them (I was out snowplowing with him last winter when we rolled up on a cop hassling this kid in the ditch, he pulls over and just lights into this pig, I was like "OMFG, no way").
He's also good about making shit disappear when the cops aren't looking at the scenes of accidents. Shit that would get the involved parties in deeper shit than they already are.
But yeah, other every tow truck company I've met are complete and total pricks.
I may have been a little harsh. Im sure your friend is the exception though. Sounds like hes a tow truck operator, not "in the business of towing"
I think they took the 2 boxes worth, because I think they were rolled. But he had to pay the rest in cash because the plastic container wasn't rolled.
However, I really have no idea.
Well, it's his business, he owns all the trucks and pays all the billz, but he's just not into fucking people. And I totally agree with you, tow companies are scum. Most of the ones around here are total white trash redneck fuckstains that are just out to hammer you the hardest when bad luck has already hit.
Haha! I'm surprised that the girl working there was so stupid (as was her manager) and that they managed to pay even a bit with pennies.
As much as I hate scum towing companies, the problem with doing this crap is that it can backfire, even if the pennies are rolled.
The merchant can require that each penny is individually counted in front of the person making the payment.
1 penny ....
2 pennies ....
3 pennies ....
"What's that sir? I'm going as fast as I can! Damn it! Now I have to start over."
1 penny ...
2 pennies .... "Oh! Isn't that a shiny one!"
8800 pennies and over 12 hours later at 5 seconds per penny.
Hell, if the manager was pissed off he could have the people count extra slow, let them get to 7,473 pennies at closing and then tell the kid that they're closing for the night and he'll have to come back tomorrow morning to start over.
Oh, and that there will be an overnight charge for the vehicle.
A merchant is legally permitted to restrict the method of payment - legal tender or not.
For example:
Apartment blocks not taking cash for the rent; or,
Fast food places that don't take bills larger than a $20.

^yup.
Cheshire, yeah, he's way too nice to push rebills. Fuck, so am I for that matter. No wonder I don't do 100k days like you ballers.

If they don't say they restrict payment I don't see how that can work. Fast food places have signs. Apartments have contracts. This kid did the right thing by calling the cops and getting some muscle in there where he was not strong enough to make things happen.
It's happened to me 7 times in my life which equates to well over a grand. The most recent towing included a conversation with some toothless bumfuck that was bragging about how he towed the city's pro athlete's car the past weekend.
Great people, good business.

There are only two towing companies in Vancouver, and one of them is owned by a member of the Hell's Angels. You really don't want to fuck around with them and as funny as this little stunt was, it's not something that I would attempt to repeat myself.
