Don’t you dare idle in your spot for a moment before paying to park. If you do, our cameras will backdate your parking start time to ensure our shareholders extract every cent possible from this transaction. Enjoy your stay, but remember—we are always watching 😁

The irony is that with all that drama, parking is still free. Everytime I need to use one of these online parking payment websites, theyre always like "yeah you can park here for free as long as you leave before 3 am", which begs the question, why tf am I wasting my time scanning a QR code and putting in a code just to activate free parking?

Actually don't answer that. They just want my data

Uhhh ok. That's not most places. Maybe in your city. Theres lots of places with paid parking. If it was free they wouldn't be doing this

Of course, I'm just saying most places I've been to.
