  • Female customer asked if meter parking receipt could be used to pay for parking fee

    This incident happened yesterday.

    I work as a contract Visitor parking attendant at a university. Across the street from the booth that I work in there is a meter lot that is owned by the city.

    Female customer drives up to the booth window, & asks me "is this Visitor parking?" I tell her yes, & that the fee to park in the garage is $5.00. There is also a sign stating the parking fee that I place outside the booth.

    I notice that there is a receipt in her hand. She tells me that she paid for her parking at the meter lot, but that she could not find an empty parking spot.

    I let her know that the fee to park at Visitor parking is $5.00. She then tells me "but the meter lot across the street is full!!!"

    I let her know that the meter lot is owned by the city, not the university. I also let her know that the meter lot is not affiliated with the university.

    She left.

    She paid for her parking before finding a space?

      That's what I thought! Don't you usually park, then get out & feed the meter?!

      What's the difference?
      We're allowed to tell you "no".

        Only if your brain is switched on, apparently.

        This is kind of funny. I can understand being a bit annoyed because you paid up for a few hours and whatever you were doing ended up only taking half an hour or something, but... not parking at ALL? *shakes head*
