They have tightened up the slots!  After a three month absence, I dropped in to check out EQC Fife.  They used to pay back in the 94% range (it's right on the machine during a tech visit).  Now they have been reset in the 92% range.  What that means in actual overall cost is about a 30% increase in hourly losses. It doesn't take much, and they know it. What did we expect them to do when their parking lots are full? You are going to lose anywhere, but now you can save more time and lose faster at the EQC.
