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 well if you are spending $20 for overnight parking either way, find a private garage. Show that rental car the night of its life.

@lambdageek I thought about it. I also thought about petulantly sitting in the car for 20 minutes until 9 PM, since it took me nearly 10 minutes to get the app working anyway. But I had just driven a very long way and was tired >_>
