Trip Update: Just got read the "Riot Act" by a tollbooth worker.
We are on our way back from Pennsylvania and due to a small hiccup with our I-pass, we had to take a ticket upon entering Pennsylvania. We updated our I-pass account, but were told it could up to 24 hours for out-of-state so we stopped at one of the cash booths instead of breezing through the open road tolling. Sigh. We had the lady check our I-pass just in case and she confirmed we had no money on it ("the update"). The lady in the booth then asked us what we did for a living. After we responded, she then proceeded to read us the "Riot Act" about how "these things" (i.e., I-passes/EZ passes) cost people their jobs and that it will be a "domino effect" and people won't be able to hire attorneys, etc. Seriously, did we really get a lecture about the economy from a tollbooth worker!?! Needless to say Jason and I both disagree with her view and spent a few minutes discussing counter-arguments (of which there are a ton).
