A ticket for parking more than 90 minutes in a grocery parking lot?

Often seen when nearby businesses may keep customers longer.
We have a local theater adjacent to many other businesses, and parking in front of those businesses is designated NOT theater parking, and is all time-limited.

you might see the same sort of thing where a popular restaurant or club is adjacent to other stores. Those stores wouldn’t want to see their parking taken up with folks going to a relaxed dinner or to see a band at a club where they might be 2 - 3 hours, or perhaps more.

My son was born at Molndal Hospital in Gothenburg Sweden. Their only parking lot was the kind you had to buy a ticket for at a machine.

We got a ticket for 12 hours. But it was a long delivery. By the time I made it out, 15 hours later, we had a 1000 SeK ticket. About $100 at the time.

I asked the hospital to cut some slack. They just shrugged. Went to city parking court office and they balled me out (the Swedish way - clucking a lot) and wouldn’t do anything about it.

Crap happens.
