停车常识:你不再用分隔架分类停车票了吗?(英文)
Colleting tickets: Are you of
your pigeonhole?
据停车行业的老一辈人回忆,在收费电脑出现之前,收费员通常用分隔架把停车票归类,每个间隔放一种价格:1元,2元,20元等。
在收费员收取了顾客的停车票后,票被放在相应价格的格子中,在值班结束时,收费员统计每个格子中的票,并在值班报告中扼要记录数量。值班报告和票分类捆在一起转入。然后,一名审计员将检查值班报告的准确性,人工累计每一捆中的票额,偶尔也会检查票本身,看它是否被正确分类和记录了。
在当时,使用分隔架分类是一个很好的方法。
对今天那些拥有先进的停车场收费管理系统的大型停车场来说,这个旧时代的分隔架将不复存在了。
正文:
As industry veterans will recall, in the "old days"
before the fee computer, the typical parking cashier "pigeonholed"
their tickets. The pigeonhole was a small shelf with multiple compartments,
each opening designated for a price category, i.e.$1, $2, $20, etc.
As a cashier collected tickets from customers, the ticket was filed
in the appropriate price bin. At the end of the shift, cht cashier
counted the tickets in each bin and recapped the numbers on a manual
shift report. The shift and tickets, bundled by category would then
be turned in. Later, an auditor would check the shift report. The
shift report and tickets, bundled by category would then be turned
in. Later, an auditor would check the shift report's accuracy by
physically counting the tickets in each bundle, occasionally inspecting
the tickets to insure they were properly categorized and recorded.The
auditor would check, among other things, to make sure a $10 ticket
was not labeled, bundled and counted as a $1 ticket,with the cashier
pocketing the difference.
