I made the mistake of thinking I was dealing with a rational person. I had left my wallet at home, but it wasn't like I dumped a hundred pennies down, either--quarters, dimes. I mean, the guy had NO other customers, not a single person in the area but me. Is the life of someone sitting on his ass in a booth THAT complicated that he can't count change for someone who pays his salary? I mean, I've never seen a sign saying "paper money ONLY" over one of those booths.

LOL!!! At least you realize your mistake, and you hopefully won't make it again. That WAS a government employee, after all.

What business pays wages? They are all part of the cost of goods--so the general public is paying your wages too. Wonder how you would react to someone telling you THEY pay your wages? It is a rude remark to make to anyone.

No...in your case, you had to deal with a lazy, self absorbed, pile of turds...but that one example of a city employee who was obviously worthless...does not make all government employees overpaid, or lazy. It's kinda like going into a convenience store...most of the clerks are pleasant and helpful....BUT there is that 1 of 10 or so that just need to get kicked!
