    So I was in this bloomsbury, nj TA where they charges to park, as I approach the ticket machine, this guy stand next to it, and he ask me if I can give him the ticket and back my truck up so I would get another ticket again, he said he pull out of the fuel island and forgot to get a ticket, but I refused to do so because I'm afraid this is some kind of a trick to scam me or something, does anyone know anything about this?
    If this is not a trick or scam then I feel sorry that I refused to help him

    He stayed past the "free parking" time and wanted you to get him a newer ticket so he wouldn't have to pay.

    I wouldn't have done it either.

    You use to be able to just walk up and get a ticket.

    Just curious but, how do you 'forget' to take a ticket when you have to take a ticket to get to the fuel island?

    well, that place is a mess, the ticket station is located in the center, fuel island to the let, scale to the right, I didn't know where the ticket station is located the first time I went in there

    I hate that frigging toilet of a T/S. It's like the rest of NJ, it's the part that didn't go down when N.Y. flushed.

    He just didn't want to pay for parking. I have seen guys do that for a long time. But like another poster said you use to be able to just walk up and get a ticket. I haven't been in there in a while so I wonder when it changed.
