I have in my possession the copy of the tax return required by the city — a copy is shown nearby. It may be unreadable but here is the cogent information:

Of concern is that the city has required that the operators prove their lost ticket ratios. They must
1. Know the total number of tickets issued by a garage.
2. List the tickets by increment and type
3. And compute the total number of tickets returned and then a lost ticket ratio.
That’s it. I’m shocked SHOCKED that operators don’t already know these numbers as a simple part of normal auditing procedures. However a number of the operators are attempting to have these requirements stricken.
HUH?
I remember 30 years ago when I went to visit garages that the reports were broken down just like the one shown here. The manager filled one out every day, and summarized it weekly and monthly. Don’t we even do that any more?
