Default I was robbed today, I'm so shaken up
I was in uni for an hour and it normally costs £3. I only had a twenty with me so I put £20 in the machine and it gave me £10 change (in coins). I have been robbed of £7 from a ****ing parking machine. I'm so shaken up.

Look on the machine for a phone nmber and ring them up.
It's a disgrace, bad enough paying £3 an hour to start with.

I had work so didn't have time to speak to anyone about it. It's shocking, it's £1.50 for less than an hour and as soon as you reach 60 minutes it jumps to £3.

Really shocking, still make a complaint however, you never know and the machine must show a surplus too.
You shouldn't have to put up with and suffer that loss,it isn't just a few pence after all.

I don't trust machines with money,I near always try to have as near to the amount I need for parking etc:
You can get ripped off left,right and centre, I have even had that happen with the self service payments in supermarkets.
So I am very wary now.

This is giving me horrible flashbacks. I was once out playing pool at the University union - the tables take 50p coins, and there is a change machine that you can put notes in to get change. This fateful day, I put in my £5 note as usual... and the machine spat out one 50p coin. ONE. I informed Union staff, "nothing they could do", they said, as the pool tables (and change machine) were supplied and maintained by another company.

Traumatic to say the least.
