That type of parking meter is illegal, around here.
For every legal transaction, the buyer must get a receipt.... and those things don't supply one.
And it must show how much is being paid and how much of it is sales tax.
How do you declare that you've payed that amount, for tax purposes, if you have no receipt?
How can the parking meter company prove that it has received X in revenue, if there is no way to match it against what people declare that they pay?

They have hitching post fee instead?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
