I spent just short of five years as a toll collector on the western end of New York State. Ask me anything, but please don't pay me in pennies.
I don’t miss the job and I can’t imagine anyone else will miss the experience of stopping to pay a toll. Time marches on. Though it marches a little slower upstate if you’re feeling nostalgic.
Why not? People love to use these brief opportunities where they feel like they have control and power to exert their own existential unhappiness onto a party that by definition, cannot reciprocate in kind.
Dirty pennies.
Money is inherently dirty, but there is just something really disheartening about change coated with dust, dirt, fast food grease, motor oil, and god knows what else. At that point I’d rather just do an unpaid toll.
