"Parking attendant" vandalism?

i kinda like the (authorized?) parking boys cuz they keep parking organized in an unorganized society, without them there'd be considerably less parking slots available due to inconsiderate people who will take up as many as 3 spaces with a big black suv.

it'd also be nice if they could keep vehicles, especially motorbikes, from parking on the sidewalks, maybe if pedestrians gave them a tip?

one thing i don't appreciate is the ear piercing whistles, i mean, how the hell can you tell what the various tweets mean without an official parking manual???

 

I wouldn't want to drive anything which I would be sad over being scratched, banged up or being peed on. I'm thinking Mad Max with a similar attire so that nobody would want to mess with me. FFS, I'm a "rich" long nose. What do I need with a nice bike or car to actually prove it and get chicks?

 

I wonder if the parking people at Robinson's have some sort of agreement or are employed by Robinson's?

Since this is something that's not going away, the city should hire people and charge for parking at each of the hot spots. Then they could use the money for some sort of insurance and pay people who can actually be accountable.

Maybe something to post on the FB page of the mayor.

On the other hand, I suppose that I would be much like hiring people to beg outside of McD's to raise money for the poor.

 

A friend on a small sports bike had his side stand broken off as they tried the regular, lean-it-in-the-stand-and-turn-around thing on it. Don't think he got any compensation for that.

 

I think the CSWD office issues the IDs for those parking guys. So complain there.

The reverend at Silliman Hospital complained to a parking boy there that the boy makes more money than he does-so why should he pay to park? Next day his scooter seat was slashed-he complained to CSWD and the boy was transferred but not fired etc.

Rumor is the guard at the hospital makes the parking boys give him a cut in order to be allowed on hospital's parking lot..

Lots of places to park near the hospital without having to park there

 

I personally don't mind then 95% of the time. They park my bike and pull it out and when its sunny cover it (the lady hates hot seats) and when rains wipe it off (somewhat). Without them there would be a lot less parking spaces and 99% don't give a d*mn about how they park or how much room they take up. With cars I could see it from a different point though as they act like they are helping you backup and park and then expect money for really having no purpose.

What I do hate is when your someplace that does NOT need a parking attendant of any sort yet they are there and pushing for money. I've seen a number of business's that tend to always have parking space available and parking attendants will be their expecting something because they know the place is frequented.

 

I can say 100% of the time I give Php 2-5 (motorcycle) to these guys unless they didnt see me. And when Im out of coins, I usually tell them that I will be back to purchase some stuff so I can settle for loose coins. I see some level of prejudice to parking boys/attendants. They come very useful during late nights while your vehicle is parked in eerie areas. Now to you guys out there who got their seats slashed, door locks vandalised, tires aired out, MAYBE you had some problems with them. Im a local by the way and Im sorry for my bad english.

 

"Im a local by the way and Im sorry for my bad English."
Your English is fine.

Parking boys do not have the most glamorous of jobs but it's a living. It puts food on the table.
If they could get a better job I am sure they would.
When someone tries to "park and drive" without paying, then of course they are going to be pissed.
They do remember you, very well. When i'm leaving if no one is visible I make an effort to find them (and they know this).
Occasionally I have no coins and pay them in cigarettes, if they don't smoke they do have a friend that does. They appreciate the respect. Everyone does.
I don't have any trouble.

 

I had my seat slashed at MacD by the park. I'm pretty sure, I would have noticed when I parked if it had been done before. I made of point of photographing the two attendants. I have not seen them since.
