EasyPass + cash lane

I drove through lane where you get those "tickets" to pay in cash. Keep in mind, I have EasyPass installed on the car. I got to the second booth and entered one of those "cash + easyPass" lanes. The lady there mentioned that I had easypass on my car, I still said "I wanted to pay in cash, as I was unsure about the funds on the account" and so I did.

But since I had easypass, how do I know I wont get charged/registered by passing through those easypass things? is there a button that the operator presses to choose whether you HAVE easypass?

Happened in NJ. I did not think ahead, maybe someone can help me understand.

 

Yes but there are more then one form of payment. If there is not a process that the operator must do in order to dismiss the easypass, then I got charged twice?

 

ah well.... I appreciate the honesty. But Im also interested in the actual mechanics here as well. I know its not a pressing issue!

 

I figured! that is tricky. Reminds me that there are a couple CVS stores I shop at and whenever I buy things with those strips, the alarm goes off. I even have came back in and watched the lady de-magnetize the items a second time! no dice. Still went off on me.

 

You missed the point though. Im asking if I choose to pay with cash while having Ezpass on my car will the EZpass charge me TOO. I paid in cash, in a "ezpass + cash lane" , how does Ezpass know whether to charge me then? does it detect that I paid in cash and not charge me
