His time was up
This letter is in response to one written recently by Charles F. Burnside, President of Maple Donuts.
Lets see if understand Mr. Burnside's facts? He parked his car down town and put a whole 50-cents in the meter, which would take him to 6:15 p.m. He returned to his car at 6:24 (apparently without returning prior to the meter's expiration to add more time to the meter) and low and behold he had a ticket! DUH! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why he had a ticket for, wow!, $15.

Whether the meter attendent waited till after 6:15 to ticket poor Mr. Burnside, or not, he was in violation of the meter!
If he closed two of his downtown stores for lack of any new customers, I wonder if he can really say it is because of the parking accomodations?
Next time he visits the Stadium for an important meeting with one of the contractors he should make sure he puts enough money in his meter.
