Bad Coin Behavior

Told he was short on his purchase by a penny, a convenience-store customer yelled at employees and threw coins at them.

Just before 4 a.m. Nov. 17, a man entered the Casey's General Store at 2114 W. Farmington Road. The man, about 50 years of age, went to the check-out counter and handed over coins to cover a purchase, according to a Peoria County sheriff's report. The report did not specify the purchase.

However, the shopper "became agitated when he was told that the change he had used to pay for his purchase was short by a penny," the report stated.

When the cashiers "insisted he pay the remaining money, " he "grew angrier" and threw his coins at them, the report stated.

The shopper headed toward the exit, but stopped and began yelling at the employees, the report stated. He said "something to the effect of 'You think this is funny?'" the report stated.
