Oh Ampco, your staff could most definitely use a personality makeover.
You employ some of the most inarticulate, unprofessional, and rude human beings I have ever come in contact with. I am sympathetic to the job and it's responsibilities...I wouldn't personally want to take people's tickets all day. I couldn't stomach telling people what it costs to park in the structure, but I would still try my best to do it with a smile.
Believe me, I am not expecting to be best friends with the attendants and exchange crock pot recipes at the end of my day, but something more than a grunt and a sour face could go a long way.
I used to have a monthly card that would get me in and out of the parking structure without having to deal with these folks and I can't wait for my replacement...I am really friendly to everyone that I encounter in business transactions and I usually drive away from Ampco System Parking employees feeling like such an ass.
I feel so much better that that is out...I have about 2 more hours before I clock out and come face-to-face with the parking attendant on duty...let's see if I can muster up a grunt and a sour face for her :) read more
