The parking bot

Chad paid my $46 parking ticket nine days before it would have doubled.

Chat with Chad, the Finance Bro bot. A $46.00 parking citation plus a $3.95 service fee comes to $49.95. After approval, Chad reports the ticket is paid before the deadline. Card, plate and confirmation details are blacked out.

What I asked

I had a $46 parking ticket and I needed a work parking pass for the next day. I asked Chad, my Finance Bro bot, to handle both.

What the bot did

The total came to $49.95 with the processing fee, and nothing got paid until I tapped approve. Then he paid it, nine days before the fine would have doubled. After that, he bought my work parking pass for the next day, $8.25.

The result

The ticket’s paid, the pass is bought, and the whole thing is now one text. I just send “buy my parking pass” and Chad does it.

The honest moment

While Chad was learning the parking site, he bought one $8.25 pass I hadn’t asked for. Now he knows Checkout means buy. It cost me $8.25, and it’s a good reminder of why I want to approve anything that costs money.
