Even when life is good it's still easy to complain... especially on a Monday. My health has been improving at a rapid pace lately. The attack by a pit bull is nearly healed, the movement in my shoulder is greatly improved as has the pain. The cracked rid is hardly noticeable and best of all I can now exercise, lift weights, and use my inversion table. So what do I have to complain about?
The Minot International Airport Parking lot. More accurately LAZ Parking (dis)Service. Actually this rant has as much or more to do with the City of Minot & Minot's Airport Authority. The City constantly promotes doing business with Minot Businesses but over and over they themselves don't even though many/most of the out of town services they hire could have been hired right here in Minot.
Here is my beef. At 6:30 this morning I took Timmothy to the Minot International Airport. I parked in the short term lot, free for 1/2 hour. After helping Timmothy get boarded I left. Trying to exit the short term parking 15 minutes later it would not let me out without paying (free for 1/2 hour). The system is totally automated. I pressed the help button and in a voice similar to a garbled fast food drive up the woman on the other end said she could do nothing and directed me to use another lane then hung up on me. I went to the next lane, same thing, different attendant. I called the police explaining I was trapped. They said there was nothing they could do. I asked if I crashed the gate would they do something then? BTW I tried to pay the darn fee just to get out but it would not accept payment (Which I did not owe). I went into the airport. Security said there was nothing they could do. The airport office was not going to open for another hour so I was trapped. I walked through the enter gate and bought another ticket. Tried exiting again and once again it wanted me to pay. I paid. Using the same credit card it refused earlier it accepted it this time. Geesh! 45 minutes waisted but I was free... it must be Monday.
I just have to ask, does your airport also use LAZ Parking (dis)Service? BTW the exact same thing happened last time I used this horrible service.
