Has the cost of living crisis gotten so bad that ppl have to tailgate to exit the car park?

So I was at Westfield Doncaster and this Subaru with custom plate YUEN*8 was in front of me. As the car in front of it exited, it tailgated it without waiting for the boom gate to come down.

Then the annoying thing was, when I got to the machine, the display showed outstanding amount $35, which is the max daily rate. And embarrassingly I had to hold up the queue to wait for the intercom response. They didn't even ask me what happened, so they must have known.

I mean, you've got a custom plate which is not cheap, but you can't afford to pay for parking???

Whinge over.

  Just remember to tailgate on the way in and the way out.

  Probably lost their ticket. I'd do the same in that scenario.

  It could be lost ticket or a very long stay. Both very expensive - cost of living crisis or not.
