THE UNEXPECTED COST OF A PARKING TICKET
One day in October 1988, John Barrier parked his truck in the car park in front of a bank. There was a sign there that said: “Free parking for bank customers. Take a ticket, ask the bank clerk to stamp it, and show the stamped ticket to the parking attendant.”7.1.That is why he was wearing dirty clothes. He took the ticket and went inside the bank. After paying a small sum of money into his account, he asked the bank clerk to stamp his ticket. The clerk took one look at the man’s untidy clothes and refused to do it.7.2.When Mr Barrier heard that explanation, he asked the clerk to call the manager of the bank, but he was absent that day. John left the bank angry, paid for the parking, got into his truck and drove home.
7.3.To the clerk’s surprise, it was more than $2 million. As it turned out, Mr Barrier was one of the richest clients at the bank. He had actually made his fortune in construction by buying, redecorating, and then selling old buildings for more than 30 years.
