Today, I literally spent 10 minutes downloading, installing, creating an account, and adding payment methods to an app so I could pay $0.40 to park for 30 minutes because the meter didn't have a coin slot and the credit card reader was broken.
I was going to a local store to buy something. Amazon will probably get my business next time.

- fatnoah 3y agoWhile I prefer to shop local for as much as possible, if I'm given the choice between fighting this town's terrible parking regulations and implementation or buying online, the latter is going to win.
- mc32 3y agoWorst are the apps that force you to “charge” a card with some ridiculous minimum even if you only ever would be in that city once. Who is going to track my balance 5 years from now when a different company is granted the rights to collect parking for the city? I’m guessing there has to be a hidden option to only “charge” the app for what you want to reserve the spot for, else this seems illegal, but then again the city may be giving itself these mob-style rights.
