An auto repair shop owner in Georgia was accused of bookkeeping and overtime prohibitions of the Fair Labor Standards Act. A former employee decided to go to the local Department of Labor and file an accusation regarding his not being paid for overtime on his last check. After the Department of Labor finished its investigation the repair shop was found to owe nearly $37,000 in past overtime and bookkeeping violations. So what does the owner do? He retaliates by depositing greasy and oily pennies, totaling over 91,000, in the man who makes the original accusation's driveway.

Pennies are real money but, putting grease and oil on them makes them a hazard to the wildlife in that area. I'd call the Federal Response Center (EPA) and report him for it. The guy would have only thought getting caught for not paying overtime was bad before the EPA finished with him!

@celticeagle Yeah, I read the article and thought the man deserved more than he got from the authorities.

Hopefully he gets busted for that also. At least we know who caused the penny shortage

Yes, him and my ex. He used to just throw pennies on the floor of his truck.
