Boy Mocked By Waitress For Paying In Coins Gets Payback

Lots Of Containers

His parents saw all of the water containers that they had bought now that they were empty. They sat in the corner of his room, but they weren’t empty anymore. All of the water was gone, but it was replaced with pennies.

They couldn’t believe the sheer amount that their son had collected. But the reason was even weirder.

Asking Him To Explain Himself

They decided to wait for their son to get home so he could explain himself. After he arrived home from school, they asked him about what he had in his room. They needed an explanation.

Cohen nervously looked at his feet and started mumbling. They asked him to speak louder, so he told them exactly what was going on.

Collecting Pennies

Cohen explained that ever since his Facebook page had gone so viral, he loved the rush. He started to collect pennies when he didn’t have to anymore. He would use his bank notes from his salary and exchange them for pennies.

But soon, his penny obsession got so intense that he had way too many. He had to think of a place to keep them.

The Only Logical Place

The only logical place for him to keep his pennies was in large containers. And the cheapest he could think of were 5-gallon water jugs. But what would he do with them now that he had so many?

He told them what he wanted to do with them. It was a strange thing, but would they understand?

A Kind of Savings

He told his parents that this was a kind of savings for him. That he wanted to be responsible for his own money and learn how to use it.

He thought the pennies would be good because they looked like a lot more when in heavy tubs.

A Ludicrous Amount

But it wasn’t like he just had one or two 5-gallon containers. He had 5 of them! That was 25 gallons of pennies! But it didn’t end there. He would have to eventually do something with him, wouldn’t he?

A time would come when Cohen would decide that he had to downscale his obsession, but what would he do?

Having To Let Them Go

Cohen knew that he had to downscale his operation. It had gotten out of control, and he’d have to get them taken off of his hands. But where would he put them? He had to think of a way to get his money back.

He knew it wouldn’t be easy, but with a bit of effort, he’d be able to find a way through it. But was it too late?

A Way Out

Then it came to him. He jumped up and got ready. He went straight to the garage and looked for one essential piece of equipment. He just needed to find it now. He looked through all of the junk until he saw it sticking out.

He grabbed it and pulled. It was heavy, but he was motivated to make it work. Now he just had to load the bottles and be on his way.

Loading Them Up

He managed to load the 5-gallon containers onto his dad’s old trolley. It was old, and the wheels got stuck easily. But it was the only thing he had. He was motivated to get to the place he had to go.

But where was he going when he walked out of the door with a loaded trolley?

Walking To The Bank

Cohen’s destination was, in fact, the bank. It was a short walk, and he knew that it was the only place willing to cash out all of his pennies. It was a hot summer day, and the trolley was heavily loaded.

Still, though, Cohen managed to get to the bank and made it to the front counter. The teller’s eyes went wide at the site of the sheer amount of pennies.

A Heartwarming Moment

Cohen thought that the teller would judge him harshly, just like the waitress had months ago. But as soon as she looked at the bottles – she smiled. She laughed and told him it was the most interesting thing that had happened to her in a long time.

She was happy to help the young man and brought a smile to his face. Cohen couldn’t believe that someone was so nice to him.
