I
feel
Qpark
puts
women
in
danger
late
at
night.
I
parked
here
in
Christchurch
recently
and
when
I
got
back
with
my
β¬20
cash,
their
machine
wouldn't
accept
cash.
If
you
can
only
pay
with
cash,
please
remember
this.
I
had
no
money
on
my
card
and
there
was
no
notification
that
they
refuse
cash
upon
entry
or
I'd
have
gone
elsewhere.
This
left
my
car
trapped
in
the
car
park
with
no
human
person
there
to
go
to
for
help
by
the
time
I
came
back
with
my
cash
payment.
I
called
their
assist
button,
got
the
most
horrible
man
the
other
end
of
the
line
who
was
immediately
rude
and
unhelpful.
He
told
me
they
didn't
accept
cash.
He
didn't
care
that
they
didn't
inform
me
of
that
before
parking
and
that
I
had
legal
tender
there,
which
should
be
accepted.
I
tried
to
reason
with
him,
tried
to
give
him
my
card
number
so
they
could
take
the
cash
from
it
the
next
day
so
I
could
lodge
it
in.
He
refused.
I
got
really
angry
then
about
his
stubborn,
rotten,
obnoxious
and
purposefully
unhelpful
attitude
and
started
to
really
panic.
He
told
me
I'd
have
to
leave
my
car
locked
up
there
all
night
until
staff
came
the
following
day.
I
told
him
I
lived
2
hours
away
a
few
counties
away
and
couldn't
do
that.
He
didn't
care
in
the
least.
He
immediately
took
the
attitude
that
I
was
trying
to
scam
them
out
of
my
18
euros
fee.
This
'assistant'
was
completely
intractable.
He
told
me
either
just
leave
the
car
there
all
night
or
go
outside
and
find
someone
who'd
pay
my
parking
fee
with
their
card,
and
give
them
the
cash.
I
told
him
my
worries
of
being
put
in
danger
doing
this:
wandering
into
that
dark
alley
alone
after
midnight
begging
strangers
for
their
bank
cards
and
he
said
smugly
"if
you
feel
uncomfortable,
call
the
Gards."
To
be
clear:
I
had
the
money
to
pay,
I
was
ready
and
willing
to
pay.
In
response
QPark
were
obnoxious,
unhelpful
and
told
a
lone
woman
to
go
out
into
a
dark
alleyway
after
midnight
to
ask
a
complete
stranger
for
money
in
order
to
get
my
car
out.
At
no
point
when
I
entered
the
carpark
was
there
any
signage
saying
that
they
refuse
legal
tender
and
that
when
you
return
they'll
simply
shrug
and
leave
you
stuck
there.
They
have
not
responded
to
my
complaint
to
their
customer
care
email
and
I
related
this
story
on
Twitter
so
that
other
women
aren't
put
in
this
dangerous
position
and
they
blocked
me
rather
than
addressing
their
issue
of
refusing
cash
payments
and
having
no
information
anywhere
stating
that.
If
you
can
park
with
any
other
parking
firm,
do!
(My
story
had
a
happy
ending
of
a
kind
stranger
helping
me,
but
I
could
easily
have
ended
up
in
a
very
bad
situation.)
I
simply
cannot
believe
any
company
would
treat
any
customer
like
this
and
instead
of
apologising
or
promising
to
do
better,
simply
ignore
and
block
any
criticism.
Avoid!
Avoid!
Avoid!
