As it becoming a habit I had to visit 4 pay stations in the long term car park as three were out of order. Surely they cold ensure that the damn things work..
Similar thing happened to me at SNN recently...except that the machine was working in that it would take your money, but give no change! As I had put in a 20 Euro note, I obviously went to the desk and asked them to retrieve my outstanding amount. The guys there told me to tell the man at the exit booth my story and he would refund me.
Only in Ireland would we have a self service machine and then a staffed exit booth where a guy collects the ticket off you! An automatic and manual at the same time!!
Also, given that no-one was getting change, that 'dodgy machine' was basically rounding up the car park fees to whatever people put into the machine. A nice little money earner at out state airports no doubt.
Serving the people me arse....
