Ferrari Mailing List: Re: NFC.Credit card BS

[LtWacko (ltwacko]

This is WAY off topic but it still eats me to this day...

I used valet parking during the winter holidays at Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg 
, IL.  A few hours after picking up my car, I discovered they took $4 in 
quarters (parking meters in Chicago).  What ticks me off is I tip before AND 
after (I consider myself a better than average tipper - family and friends in 
the service industries).  Everyone "accepts" at the valet and carwash that you 
lose a quarter here and there but I thought this was ridiculous.  I filed 
complaints but no one listens.  If you add it up, 100 cars a day at $.50 a 
piece, that's $50!  You get hanged for shoplifting a $5 shirt at the mall but 
they don't care for spare change spread out over a bunch of customers.  I think 
accepting petty theft sucks.  I wish they would do something about this.  If 
you have to resort to stealing a quarter at your job, you should have paid more 
attention in school.  Obviously this is not about the money for me but morals.  
Ya gotta love some countries with harsh punishments for petty crimes.  At least 
the credit card companies put it in writing that they are going to screw you.

Sigh.

Agreed 100%. Someone keyed my little Dinan3 a month ago at the Hard Rock in 
valet parking so that post you made really hit home. Not even in an F car or 
anything crazy. Just a little Bimmer. The scumbags in this world.
