It's time to stop subsidizing parking spaces. Their land use is actually really expensive and that burden should be on those using the land for storing tons of metal, not cross-financed by those choosing more sustainable means of transport.
The root problem here is car dependency.
Capitalism creates helplessness in order to exploit it.
Fuck you dudes get a bike. Or Uber when traveling.
And stop using x.
And while I have your attention, dont forget to brush and floss tonight.
Even the anarchist cookbook wasn't this evil
God forbid you pay for the things you use. 🙄
I have a theory add ons like this are a result of the way we buy things online. When buying online you can sort stuff by lowest price first. Businesses want to make it to the top of the list so you are presented with the bare bones product, add ons come later. Same with buying airline tickets. Luggage, meals and movies used to be included, not no more.
It depends on the hotel but one strategy I’ve found is to tell them you didn’t drive or aren’t parked there as a bold face lie. They can barely pay staff to clean the rooms and they don’t patrol the parking lot. If they erroneously tow a guest or employee who forgot their permit or mid-remembered their license plate that would be really bad for them - it’s not worth the risk.
They just have a company like inpark run their lot, they don't need to do or pay shit. The company tows and charges all on its own.
That's a great way to get your car towed.
Yeah no. Im a subject matter expert on parking. If the demand for their parking is so high that they are charging, then they very likely have a parkinf enforcement plan.
In the marekt...he who who makes money off an asset, protects said asset.
You speak as one unlearned in parking asset management.
The one time I paid a hotel for parking you needed a card to make the gate go up just to get in the lot
The hotel's owner won't get hurt, but the poor housekeepers definitely will.
Owners will eventually be hurt; they care about profit and profit alone. Any superfluous costs will eat into the profit. This method would generate extra work - costing money, which would fail to resolve the issue repeatedly - costing money, until finally a replacement is ordered - costing money, then the maintenance guy has to ignore whatever other task and install the new furniture - costing money.
If only 10% of hotel guests did this at just half the rooms they stayed in over a year we'd collapse the global tourism economy and permanently shut down most hotels across the world.
These people don't even consider by mistake the impact that their childish retaliation has on the environment, I find it deeply depressing
