What, she didn't want a team of concientious parking officers producing
lots of tickets for her to process...?
As I said.... ;) Did you tell her not to worry, the training would
probably only take with one or two of them....? ;)

What the women in the office hated was went I wrote paper tickets.
Each of those had to be manually inputted. (The ticket writer
connects to the computer and downloads).
There were times the writers would be down and come in at the end of
the day with 300+ to be processed.
I loved paper tickets. I could write one in about 15 seconds (I was
timed occasionally just out of curiosity). If it were 1 p.m. and
starting on a busy and/or metered lot, I would put in the date, then
13 leaving the minutes blank, the lot, my officer number (49), and do
this for 10-15 tickets then go from car to car for whatever violation.
If I came across a random violation (HC, no parking, loading zone) I
could knock that out in about 20 seconds, filling out the ticket as I walked from the back to the front since one merely checked and circled
the violation, writing in make, colour, etc. We didn't do model. A
Ford four door was a Ford and a four door. No Taurus, Explorer, etc.
A SW was a SW, a pickup was a pickup, etc.
The writers were a bit slower (average about 30 seconds each) since
I had to go from screen to screen, not jump around. And it had to
print out and put in an envelope. Paper was filled out, the hard copy
put on the windshield and I was on my way.

So the ticket writers had their problems, even if they were more automatic.... ;)

I can see why you'd prefer to do the paper tickets... :)

It was always a joke about the number of tickets I wrote compared to everyone else. If I wrote say, 150 in one day, that was a slow day
for me, while others who did 150 thought they had a good day.

One couldn't use them in a steady rain. If the writers got wet they
had problems. And if below 10 degrees they would freeze up. If
generally cold the batteries ran down and not noticed until a ticket
was printing when they would stop. (They have no battery meter on them for some reason). It was best to change them on a regular basis during the day with a freshly charged battery).

In addition I could have the ticket books in my pockets and
violators would think I wasn't writing any at that time.
I could whip one out, write and be gone in a few seconds.
