Parking Garage near the Courthouse, Downtown:
Woman: [referring to automated parking lot machines] Do those give change?
Security Guard: Yeah, they do. You can put in a ten or a twenty.
Woman: No, I mean, do they give change?
Security Guard: [confused] Yeah, just put in whatever bills you have and it’ll make change.
Woman: No, I mean, like at the post office — you know the stamp machines?
Security Guard: Yeah.
Woman: Ok, so, I put money in to buy stamps and it gives me those gold quarters.
Security Guard: Oh, no, this machine gives you back bills.
Woman: Oh, good.

She might be referring to parking lot machines that give you tokens when you put money in them. Such things exist, right? Or perhaps they are merely a figment of my imagination.
