Felt the need to write about this.
In this hospital, parking garage access is through swiping the name badge at the gate. If you forget your badge, you have to take a ticket, and visit the parking office. That's what happened to me today. I was informed there that since I was already issued a voucher earlier this year, I can no longer receive a voucher to get out of the garage. So, I was left with either paying the extraordinarily high per diem parking fee, or somehow go home, get my badge, come back, and drive out. Keep in mind that I already pay a monthly parking fee for garage access. I was shocked by this policy, mainly because of how unaccommodating it is. Imaging you already are having a shitty day because you can't get anywhere you need to go after forgetting your badge, the hospital craps on you and holds your car hostage unless you give them an additional pound of flesh. All in the name of world class care, right? Meanwhile, other hospitals down the road actually have more than a robot in charge of parking, and understand sometimes people forget things and needs to be bailed out. Imagine that!
