Kan waited in line, paid for her parking, and then helped a senior in line behind her who was having difficulty with the machine.

Kan’s daughter-in-law, Emily Yeung, says that in the time it took Kan to help the woman, her mother-in-law was given a $50 ticket.

“The funniest thing is the time stamp between two tickets is one minute apart,” Yeung explains. “So are we really down to the race as to how fast you can press the button and race back to your car?”

After Yueng and Kan complained to Impark, the company agreed to rescind the ticket.
