That was the best outcome given the circumstances.
Coinstar should make an advertisment from the story.
Imagine having a boss that childish and that petty.
“Well, he was paid in full, right?”

Way cool Coinstar! A good deed AND a fantastic publicity stunt. Win-Win.

At Domino's I would occasionally get a bunch of teenagers who thought they were being clever by giving me a Ziploc bag full of change.

I always made them count it out, and it was always at least a dollar short.

I told them their pizza would be at the store if they could come up with the rest of the money, but I'm not wasting my time coming back out here.

A OK Walker Autoworks got some publicity out of this. Not the good kind though.

Coinstar got a mountain of publicity not to mention a lot of wheatbacks and other pure copper coins.

If an employer did it, then yeah, it was a d!ck move. That said, when folks to it to a utility or collection agent, other folks cheer it on. Maybe it’s a d!ck move all the time.

The owner of the shop, Miles Walker, told WGCL-TV that he didn’t know if he did or didn’t drop the pennies off at Flaten’s house.
“I don’t really remember,” Walker said. “It doesn’t matter. He got paid, that’s all that matters.”

Either taking petty to a whole new level.

Or Walker does this routinely to former employees.

Andreas Flaten's worried about the hazardous stuff dumped in his driveway by A OK Walker Autoworks running-off into the creek.

He has fruit trees in his backyard and a freshwater creek just about 100 feet away. He said he was concerned the oil would slide down his driveway and make its way into the water.

If Flaten files a hazardous waste complaint with the Georgia EPA claiming his old boss authorized the dumping of the mess, it can result in costing A OK Walker Autoworks a helluva lot more than $915--and cost the dirt-bag manager of that shop his job.

Well played, Coinstar.
