I'm trying

...but where is this all leading?

A courtesy assessment by any other name...

, ,

is still a fecking (tm) parking ticket!

We went to the opera last night and parked in a garage close to the theatre. To get into the garage we had to prepay, we could not get in unless we paid first. That's it...we..could..not..get..in..unless..we..paid..first! So, what a surprise to find this "courtesy assessment" on the car when we returned. Supposedly, we did not display the parking stub properly. I suppose also , that they pay someone $9.00 an hour to search for cars that haven't displayed their prepaid parking receipt properly. Why do we even have to display the stub if they know that everyone in the garage has already paid? Unless, they just want to make some extra money. Oh, no, that couldn't be, that would be so cynical. But this parking garage is run by the city. :irked: Anyway, I've written a letter to said parking dungeon. If it doesn't get results, well, I have another plan! :whistle:

Could you have got into the garage by tailgating? If not, then you definitely have a point :up:

By tailgating? We had to pay cash right up front to the clerk at the booth. It wasn't even automated.

It doesn't make sense to have a clerk to make sure you don't get in without paying, then have another one to check. Sounds like someone's relative needed ajob!

Oh, and then we had to show our ticket to leave the garage! :confused:

Haven't heard from them yet.

Sound rather extortionate to me.
