Tallies for the week of January 4, 2010 to January 8, 2010

Unruly customers: Two

One was upset because they needed to return their old permit to obtain the replacement.

“But it was destroyed.”
“But we need proof because we don’t believe you.”
I mean, you could give the old permit to someone else.


The other was upset because they got a ticket at nine in the morning, and, with every syllable, the volume increased.

“I can understand that you guys ticket, but I don’t see why I got this so early in the morning. My class isn’t until one. Why should I get up at nine to buy a parking permit? And you guys aren’t even open during the weekend. I brought my car up on Sunday afternoon, and I wasn’t getting up early to buy a permit.”

And on and on and on and on…


Friendly about it: One

“I’m giving you money, even if I don’t want to give you money.”

And we’ll gladly accept because we are a money-chasing, profit-mongering institution.


Interesting tidbits:

“I just got a parking ticket, and it’s a pretty hefty one too.”
Yeah, no kidding.

“I thought you guys don’t ticket during the winter vacation.”
We just like to prey on ignorant people.

Four
