Parking ticket machines ...

[Diflower]

And me I'm ever so genteel

[JanB]

They really are infernal machines - hate them over here too

Moi, genteel? Not a chance

[Workingman]

Do NOT get me started with ticket machines, pay by card terminals and self-checkouts.

DO NOT GO THERE!

Many sympathies to Mrs O.

BTW: That's me being genteel.

But have to ask - does the parking garage not have Ringo option to pay for parking. Pay online (computer or phone app) either before you get there or when you do and it's all done and dusted without a hassle and no need for any small change

I don't think there's a Ringo type function, Meriad, because you don't have to enter your car number in it, like you have to do down on the coast in West Dorset. We're very rural North Dorset up 'ere! We still have tether posts for ponies and trap. And don't laugh too loudly because I got stuck behind a pony and trap in Trowbridge last week!

The ticket machine will take contactless, but not long after it was installed, I was behind a lady who was having awful trouble trying to get it to accept her card, so we've never bothered with that.

Tim's new fangled coffee machine hates me. No matter how carefully I set it all up, I press the button and the message 'no carafe' flashes at me. Matters not how much I wiggle it, scream look there it is you stupid machine, it still doesnt work
