Chandler kept testing the system

While the policy (if it exists is wrong) he cost the taxpayers far more than if he had simply planned to have correct change.

He didn’t cost the taxpayers anything. He cost the management company the time of one low level employee.

States continue to do this because nobody protests.

Would you say the same thing to someone buying a Big Mac at McDonalds? Or a new 32” television at Best Buy?

The point is that he is purchasing the use of the toll road. There is no requirement to pay it with exact change, any more than the above examples.

Anything else is excusing the violations made by the toll road operators.

You estimate that the value of eliminating this liberty-curtailing policy is zero?

You blame someone for not having correct change........ It must be hell to get a bag of chips at a vending machine. :^)
