Georgia man receives final paycheck in pile of coins on driveway
ATLANTA (AP) A Georgia man said his former employer owed him a pretty penny, $915 to be exact, after leaving his job in November.
But Andreas Flaten said he was shocked to see his final payment: 90,000 oil or grease covered pennies, at the end of his driveway earlier this month, news outlets reported. Atop the pile was an envelope with Flatens final paystub and an explicit parting message.
This is a childish thing to do, Flaten said.
Flaten said he left his job at Peachtree Citys 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 thats going to be a lot of work for money Ive already worked for, he said. Its definitely not fair at all.
The owner of the shop, Miles Walker, spoke with WGCL-TV briefly, stating he didnt know if he did or didnt drop the pennies off at Flatens house.
I dont really remember, Walker told the TV station. It doesnt matter he got paid, thats all that matters.
Walker went on to call Flaten a weenie.

Walker must have major personality disorders. Or maybe the mental age of three.

I know who the weenie is here: Walker the Weenie Wanker.

Offer to pay their bill if they give you 95% first.
Then pay the bill in uncleaned pennies.
