Seattle Parking Fail

elfsThis morning I drove into Seattle to attend a job interview, and on the way out passed by my favorite stationary story. My Kyokuto A4 project notebook is almost exhausted, and as many of my friends know I'm a raving queen when it comes to paper and binder quality in my notebooks, so I figured I'd stop and pick up a replacement.
Only I couldn't. Whenever I tried to use my credit card in the parking meter, I got "Bank not available: use coins." I don't carry coins anymore. Hell, I almost never carry cash anymore.
So, I couldn't do any shopping and the city of Seattle didn't get any money out of me. Too bad for the economy. Probably good for my savings, though.
