Description

I am beyond annoyed. Like tons of other single-space meters in Oakland, the coin slot on PI-4060 is jammed with one or more quarters--you can see the top one sitting there--and so it will not accept coins to register time.

Okay, so to be a good citizen, I decided to pay with a credit card. For the $0.50 minimum charge, it only gave me 13 minutes of time, not 15 minutes! Last time I checked, I deserve a quarter of an hour when I pay 25% of the $2/hour rate. Such a rip-off!

It is bad enough that you make me pay $0.50 on a credit card if I only need $0.25 worth of time to run in and grab a coffee. But now I don't even get the full value I paid?? Aaargh!
