$15 over an entire truck's worth of goods? Even if it was $150, this is pearl clutching at best.

Agreed. These same trucks often get parking tickets that surpass the cost of entry.

Exactly, which is why I mentioned double parking in my previous comment[0].

It's a USD$115.00 ticket for double parking and delivery trucks do so even when there's space for them to park legally, lest they get blocked in by another truck -- it's just the cost of doing business.

And it's disgusting. Streets which should have four lanes of traffic are reduced to one or two lanes with all the double-parked trucks. Those fines should be $1000+ and entering into Manhattan from anywhere in a car should be at least $100. Sadly, no one asked me. And more's the pity.
