Day 1 of a 6 days conference. I pulled out of the self park lot and had the following conversation with the lot attending.
Attending: Are you stay at the hotel sir?
Me: No ma'am I am just here for the 6 days conference.
Attending: (completely changed her tone) $9
Me: I am sorry ma'am. Can you repeat that.
Attending: (holding out her hand) 9 dollar a day.
Me: Sorry I was not aware of that (hands her my credit card) One question, since I am here for the next 5 days from 9 to 5 and leaves during lunch...
Attending: ( cuts me off) $9 a day.
Me: I understand ma'am. I just want to know tomorrow when I leave for lunch how do I get back in and how ...
Attending: ( cuts me off again and hands me back my card and receipt) $9 a day.
Me: oh wait there is a receipt. Can I show the receipt to go in and out tomorrow?
Attending: (abrupt) yes
Me: thank you so much ma'am
Attending: yeah
Me: 🤔😡🤪🤬
Do yourself a favor and either stay at the resort if you are attending a conference there (because apparently attitude changes the moment they realize you don't) or pay for valet because my fellow docs who attend the same conference tell me they were treated with proper human courtesy and etiquette.
