Can't think of a better place to ask this question - parking tickets
Does anyone have any experience with paying a parking ticket in person at the parking office in Davis Square with say $50 worth of quarters? (unrolled) I'm not quite mean enough to show up with $50 worth of pennies (and really don't want to spend the time sitting there while they are counted), but I want to make a statement. I'll all honesty, I'd pay by credit card if Somerville didn't charge an extra fee (Boston doesn't). Yes, I could mail in a check but there is no satisfaction in that. Parking enforcement in Somerville has jumped the shark and it is time for some civil disobedience.
It may be satisfying to you, but....
They go to the person behind the counter at the parking office, who counts them. Someone else probably counts them at the end of the shift to verify the drawer has the right amount of money. It gets taken to the bank and counted again by someone at the bank.
None of those people set the parking fees.
