Alright check out this fucking scam

So I need to park my rental car overnight until I return it tomorrow morning. Meter hours last until 9, so I need to pay the city's meter parking $1.80 for like half an hour until then. Fine.

But all the meter machines have been removed. Instead, you now use an "app".

The "app" has a "wallet". The "wallet" does not support adding money in increments of less than $20.

I don't own a car. This is, again, a rental.

I am never getting that other $18.20 back.

@mcc can you drive around for 30 minutes, or maybe just park and get away with it? Trying to think outside the bun.

@onelson I could have sat in the car for 30 minutes, yes, especially because by the time I got the app downloaded and figured out 10 minutes had passed. However this was after I had just driven for quite a few hours nonstop so I decided to eat the charge and see if I can get something out of it later.

@onelson @mcc yeah realistically the chance of getting a ticket x cost of a ticket probably can't exceed $18.20 can it? anyway good luck getting your money back :/
