Some information pertaining to this post:
The phone inside the booth rings. I look up & see a black jeep at the exit gate. This incident takes place before 3 p.m.
sucky student: sc
me: me
me: "Visitor Parking booth, how may I help you?"
sc: "I have a night school parking pass, & I think I am in the wrong garage"
*So you have a night school parking pass, it is the last day of class before finals, & you think you are in the wrong garage*
me: "I'm sorry, unfortunately you will have to pay for your parking. It is $5.00 to exit, & you either pay at the vending machine which excepts cash only or at the Parking office on the third floor"
sc: "Why would I have to pay since I have a night school pass?"
*It is before 5:15 p.m., it is the last day of class before finals. You know you cannot park in the Faculty/staff garage before 5:15 p.m. This is assuming you have been going to night school the entire semester*
me: "I'm sorry, but Visitor Parking is a visitor parking lot, not a student parking lot. Your parking pass is only good at the Faculty/staff lot beginning at 5:15 p.m. I'm sorry, but you have to pay for your parking."
sc: "Well..I am not paying for my parking"
me "One moment please"
*I transfer the call to the Parking office, but I got voice mail. So I call university police, explain the entire situation including the fact the if the student told me she had a night school pass, I would have told her she can only use it to park in the Faculty/staff garage beginning at 5:15 p.m.*
A university policeman arrives. I tell him she is waiting at the exit gate to Visitor Parking. He parks behind the booth & walks up to the exit gate. It took him about 2 minutes to convince her she has to back up & pay for her parking.
- Today was the last day of class before finals at the university I work at
- The parking office sells student parking passes the beginning of the semester, not the end of the semester
- Students attending night school can buy a parking pass for the Faculty/staff garage, but their parking pass is programed to only start working at 5:15 p.m. Monday through Thursday
