Yes­ter­day evening I left Tomato Head des­tined for my comfy couch at home. To my sur­prise, exit­ing the Mar­ket Square park­ing garage after 7:00PM would cost me $1.00.

Atten­tion poten­tial thieves: I don’t carry cash.

I politely told the garage atten­dant that I did not have $1.00 to which she replied, “we accept cash and check only.”

I des­per­ately unfolded my wal­let to reveal that I was indeed broke.

With a faint voice she said, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it” and opened the gate for me to exit.

Good cus­tomer ser­vice is hard to find but some­how, it found me. Thank you Ms. Mar­ket Square Garage Attendant.
