When I used to work for a café in Melbourne, the parking inspectors used to come round and blackmail the owner into giving them free food and drinks whenever they wanted it. If we didn’t give in to them, they used to give all of us staff and our customers tickets, even if we were legally parked. Not long after I left that café went out of business because people were so sick and tired of getting tickets when they had done nothing wrong. Any time we actually confronted the parking inspector that gave us the ticket he would just give us a smug look and say we could contest it if we wanted to, knowing full well it wouldn’t make a difference if we did. His excuse when confronted was always “it was an oversight.” What a pile of crap. Those inspectors are nothing but dirty thugs, and completely ruined someone’s livelihood just to get free food. I hope they rot in hell for what they’ve done.
