It's a 1.25/hr at that spot that I chose...but it happens ubiquitously I've found at meters all over the city...I challenge anyone to find someone who regularly or semi-regularly parks on the street who hasn't had this happen to them...it adds up to probably a ton of money

First ~ I accidently "flagged" Rachel's comment as "inaccurate". I thought I was flagging it as "accurate"! I totally agree. I've been running into the same problem with meters. I find that the majority of the time it is the 1st quarter that doesn't register but sometimes it's others as well. Meter parking has become so much more expensive that this is no small thing. It's also a problem if one runs out of quarters &, therefore, can't registter the necessary time.

This still has NOT been fixed. It actually happened again today...and frequently happens all the time...It's usually the first quarter...but can be any piece of change...and it doesn't just happen here it happens all around the city.

The horns say it all!! Happens to me all the time- meters eat dimes and nickels; I've probably lost a couple dollars over the past year.

I'm guessing that this meter has been fixed by now.
