    I do not care about that; I am not leaving

    This particular incident involved one of my co-workers.

    Both of us work as porters for a parking company.

    Yesterday she had to work at one of the parking lots that our employer manages. Turns out several customers who park at that parking lot have monthly parking permits allowing them to park there. Recently that parking lot has been full... to the point that there are no more spots for some of the monthly parking customers. So some of them complained about that.

    Our employer blocked off several parking spots with cones for the monthly parkers.

    There are also customers who park there on a daily basis. They pay at the pay machine located inside the parking lot.

    My co-worker was working at that parking lot directing traffic out of the lot because it was full when a daily parker arrived. She let the customer, a female, know that the lot was full due to only enough parking spots for the monthly parkers.

    Her response...

    I do not care about that. I am a daily parker, I have been parking here for 5 years. I am not leaving.

    She had to call one of the supervisors to deal with the customer. That supervisor had to find a parking spot for this customer. She ended up parking in a spot that is technically not a spot.

    Hmmm...Do the police have jurisdiction within the parking lot/structure as far as illegal parking is concerned? Just askin'

        Depends. It's private property.

        I don't think cones will fly if you called the cops on the daily parker. They'd call it a civil matter and leave. She's probably win with management, too.

        However, if the lines are repainted to reserve spots for the monthly parkers, then the cops might view it as trespassing and tell her to leave.
        They say that God only gives us what we can handle. Apparently, God thinks I'm a bad ass.

          I was actually referring to this bit :

          Sounds to me like she was in a no-parking zone.

            lol. I'll return the "keeping an EXTRA three hours off..." favor you did me over on plankton's thread.

            "supervisor had to find a parking spot for this customer. She ended up parking in a spot that is technically not a spot."

            So I'm assuming the sup dealt with it with a "If it fits here, you can park here." sort of thing. Which is totally kosher in a private garage. Heck, they could say "One car per floor" or "Wing mirrors MUST touch" if they wanted. Customer response might not be good, but they could.

            I don't think the spaces being painted or marked by cone matter either - businesses (outside of discrimination laws) can accept or deny business on whatever basis they want. Being out of prime rib or out of parking spaces makes no difference. If the garage person tells me all they have available are small car slots (or monthly if I'm a daily) and I'm in the Titan, that's it.
