Step 1
A: Excuse me, could you help me figure out how to use this new parking meter? B: Sure, it was confusing for me also. Have you ever used a regular meter? A: Yes, I understood the old one. B: Well, on this one you can use coins or a debit or credit card; which one would you like to use? A: Debit or credit card. B: OK. Now, do you see what the rate is on the sticker? A: Yes. B: OK, now that we know what it will cost, put the money or card into the machine. A: Yes, I can do that. B: Wonderful; now, this machine asks you the number of your spot, so put that in also. A: Yes, I'm ready. B: All you have to do now is take your receipt and put it on your dashboard.

Step 2
A: Whoa, I never saw a meter like this before; how do you use it? B: It's simple, once you do it a few times. Do you know how the old one worked? A: I never used a parking meter before. B: So we start out by deciding whether you will use cash or a credit or debit card. A: Cash. B: Fine, can you read the rate on the display? A: Yes, I can. B: Fine. Now that we know what they are ripping us off for, insert the payment. A: I'd rather not pay, but I have to. B: Fine, this machine does not ask you the number of your spot, so we can move on, all right? A: Perfect, let's do it. B: Now just check the meter to see how many minutes you have.

Step 3
A: This parking meter is really confusing. Can you help me figure it out? B: It's just like the old one, but with new stuff added. A: Yeah, OK. B: The first step is deciding on debit or credit card payment, so which one is it? A: I have coins. B: Perfect. Now, can you see the rate on the sign? A: I didn't see that, but now I do. B: Once you know what it will cost, put the payment in. A: Here it goes! B: You are doing great! Let's move on to the next step. A: I am a little confused. B: Just make sure that everything registered, and then you are good to go!
