Previous guards tend to close one eye if they knew you are not taking advantage of their visitor's parking to go to cold storage and are genuine visitors. This guard insists they are all wrong and all residents' visitors need to pay for entrance even to do a simple pickup or drop off.
I understand she is going by the books but I really think the condo managment is really inflexible to geniune visitors to the condo by asking them to pay to even drive through to pick/drop off a resident. There's absolutely no grace period given. Hello! This is a private condo is it not??? I understand they allow visitors to collect receipts and pass on to residents to claim. Hey! will I really do that when I'm going through to do a favour for a friend by giving her child a ride??? At the end of the day, it is not so much the money but the ridiculous principle I can't accept.
I know $1.20 is redemnable at cold storage but why should I pay when I'm not going to cold storage.
Totally disgusted by the visitor's experience. If you are thinking of buying for your own stay. Think twice, with inflexible house rules and occasional rude guards, you might find you won't have too many friends wanting to pay you a visit or friends motivated to give your kids free rides home.
