Optimistic life advice from the carpark machine ...

[snaprails@cupoftea.social]

@Natasha_Jay You found a car park machine that still accepts cash? Have you slipped through a time warp?

[essjayjay@tech.lgbt]

@Natasha_Jay

Yes, but it must come from within.

The line it doesn't show you is:

"...but only when you hit rock bottom."

@Natasha_Jay The Labour Party being outflanked on the left by a carpark machine.

Okay, it's not my photo but they are still normal in hospital car parking I believe, even newly installed!

@SarahAS2
I swear to god I thought about using this to make a Kier Starmer joke instead!!

[netraven@hear-me.social]

@Natasha_Jay look, you can even phone a friend. How thoughtful.

[snaprails@cupoftea.social]

@Natasha_Jay Ah, not had to use a hospital car park in years [touches wood].
I’ve sort of got used to paying by app now. However I got stymied the other day at a railway station, mobile internet not working, no machine at all, sign says you can pay at the ticket office. Goes to ticket office. Only open for a few hours in the morning

@snaprails
I notice people in Ireland paying cash much more in the supermarket than the UK and I admit I quite like that. I maybe only use cash to tip now so I know they get it rather than Nameless Huge Corp Ltd

@Natasha_Jay I kinda feel like this humble ticket machine has been gifted and mystically chosen to bring prophetic hope to the bowed down and the weary of ancient Albion. (Cash is king)

Was at a San Francisco credit-card parking meter after the hours when they charge. Pretty sure, but can't swear for certain, that the screen said:

Free Parking
Strictly Enforced

@Natasha_Jay Reminds me of the message I get from my screen reader when my computer has for some reason shifted away from the ap or window I was on. When I hit the keystroke for, "where am I," it says, "lost focus." A bit too relatable.
