When you wrote $52, I wasn't thinking about fee + reimbursement, I was thinking that you were out $52 in reimbursement which seemed like a lot of money to park.
Which brings to mind: I did a lot of shops for the now defunct NSS, and those shops that I didn't get paid for (in excess of $700) had high bonuses attached. Now that it's tax time, I am wondering if I can only claim the amount I am out reimbursement-wise, or if I am allowed to take additional compensation for mileage and/or promised bonus fees. I am guessing it's only reimbursement and possibly mileage that I can claim as a loss. I like to do my own taxes in general, but this year I might have to consult a pro.
So, there's a screw up in a pretty major way. Be careful who you are shopping for. I would have never guessed that I would have gotten screwed by this company and it was a weird circumstance since the owner didn't just abscond with the money and had killed himself instead, leaving his employees in a bind as well. Bad situation all the way around.

JAS,
I was parked for 25 minutes for that $25 parking charge. Hotel valet parking in a big city is like that.
