So, I'm going to try to walk you through the steps just to get into a typical grocery store downtown. Get ready for this! First, I pull into the parking garage, because there is no such thing as free parking downtown. Then, I walk over to one of these machines and retrieve a parking slip.
This is a bigger picture of the garage and the pay booth.
Then, I walk inside the store and see one of these. Yes, they are escalators for buggies. Crazy! After I finish shopping, I ride back down.
I get my parking pass and slide it back into the machine that gave it to me. The machine will tell me how long it's been since I retrieved my ticket and will charge me for how long I've parked. I then pay my parking fee, and the machine spits my ticket back out. I walk to my van and drive toward the exit.
I then pull up to a booth that looks like this. I have to put my ticket into the machine so that it knows I have paid for parking. There you go! Not all parking garages work the same way, but they are serious about paying for parking.
