Listen, I get it. You're a business. You don't really care about you're customers. You just don't want lawsuits of sorts. You hold a monopoly. We've got to use you, whether we like it or not.
But c'mon, you are all a bunch of assholes.
I called them this morning, asking whether there was any free parking near the southern end of campus. The lady didn't even let me finish my question before abruptly interrupting me, stating "we do not offer free parking". Well no fucking shit. Don't you think I know that already? Otherwise I wouldn't have called you. I could have cared less about your overpriced parking lots. I was more interested in areas near south campus. I'm not entirely familiar with the area, otherwise I wouldn't have called you. Then I proceeded to ask if she had any suggestions as to where available side street parking were. if any. Again, she gave me the same crap about "not offering free parking." She was not courteous, she was not understanding. It sounded like to me the only thing she wanted me to do was hangup, and let her read her XXL magazine. What a bitch, seriously. She did suggest that I could do the hour parking at the deck however. 4 bucks an hour, like it wasn't half her hourly rate. Uh huh... as if reasonable in anyways. So I drove to the IM fields to park and rode my bike, which was what I had previously decided on. But it never hurts to call and check to see if there was anything else.
She could have been nice and I wouldn't have vented about this at all. She could have said "I'm sorry sir, we don't offer free parking, however you can park ... yadda yadda yadda." Her attitude on the telephone was absolutely rude and entirely uninviting. But I guess that's what they teach you here, be to the point, don't offer alternatives, and definitely make sure to squeeze as much as possible out of the customer. Mr. Krabs philosophy.
