DENVER (AP) - Talk about squeezing every penny at the gas pump.
Denver police say clerks at a gas station had a run-in with a
man who insisted on paying for his fuel with $10 in pennies on
Thursday.
The clerks said they were too busy with other customers and
vendors making deliveries to accept the sackful of cents. They said
the man was insistent and became offensive, so they called police
and referred to him as an "unwanted person."
The man left before police arrived. Police say he was driving a
satellite TV truck.
