So this small town girl went to her bead show in the big city this weekend. Rather than pay the exorbitant hotel parking fees, I park in a garage one block down that is a little better. The car sits all weekend (I don't go in and out).
The garage is unmanned, with a self-serve kiosk to pay as you leave. Today I pulled up, popped in the little cardboard ticket I received when I entered the garage on Thursday and...it spit back out. I tried a second time with the same result and then noticed "out of service" shown on the display. I saw a call box and hit the "call for service" button. The phone rang about 8 times as I wondered what the heck I was going to do if no one answered, and then there was a buzz and the arm popped up (so I didn't pay anything).
Did I just get 3 days of parking (about $45) on the house? Or do I need to worry about some crazy charge down the road? But of course they have no idea who I am. Do I need to try to figure out how to contact this particular garage in Milwaukee to settle up with them? Help me think this through, peas.
