Talking Your Way Out of $50
I imagine there are a lot of emotional appeals at this parking ramp, exactly 31 minutes (& 37 minutes, & 43 minutes, etc.) after unwitting customers — at least the first time — return to their cars: “But, I got stuck in a long Starbucks line!”; “My kid’s school bus was late!”; “You Want HOW MUCH for 35 minutes?!?,” and the like.
Best guess is it’s a moot point: the parking lot in question is near the University of Pennsylvania medical complex in Philadelphia, and its clientele mostly consists of doctors and academics who are there all day.
In which case, that $50 is actually a bargain . . .
