Parking Garage

We park in this garage about 4 — 5 times a year when we are meeting friends for dinner in North Beach. This past weekend we pulled into the garage at about 5:30. The sign says $ 20.00 for parking. The attendant asked us what time we were returning and we told him around 8:30. He then tells us that the rate is $ 30.00 because we are coming back after 8:00. This is not posted anywhere and we knew without a doubt this guy was scamming us for the extra $ 10.00 and my husband pretty much told him that. But we needed to park and meet people so we paid him under protest. When we returned at 9:30 — that guy was gone, of course. When we mentioned this to the attendant who brought us our car, he looked embarrassed and actually apologized for the behavior of the other guy. Do not park in this garage. They have a bad employee there who is stealing money from the customers and probably from the parking company itself. I am sure this goes on all the time but I don’t want to participate in this guy’s bad behavior.
