Platinum Silly-ness

The other day, I was around BU area. So I thought, since bank X platinum card can get free parking in 1U, I might as well enjoy this privilege. It seems that there was parking area meant for platinum card holder, around the main entrance as told in the mailer.

So I drove into the line in front of the old wing entrance. There was no sign board at all, I had to wind down the window to ask the guard. And it was raining cats and dogs!

I was directed to the new wing as the so called privileged parking area was located at the new wing. Since when did the main entrance moved to the new wing one?! So I drove towards the new wing and there were many entrances to the lower ground and upper level parking areas.

I drove in front without seeing any sign board for the privileged parking. Again, I had to wind down and asked the guard. The foreign guard pointed me towards the taxi drop off zone while the local guard directed me to drive in to the lower ground car park. Which way lar?!

I had to pick and I picked to back off and drove towards the taxi drop off zone. As I was approaching, only then I could see a little sign board for that privileged parking zone! It was in front of the entrance near FCUK!

So I drove towards it and slotted my card into the machine. OMG, the machine showed RM8! RM8 for an open air parking while it was raining?! Luckily, there was a guard stationed there to escort us with an umbrella. I guess that was what the RM8 for lor! But what if it was not raining leh? Cheaper meh?

Hmmm, so much for the privileged parking with no sign board and open air! The normal parking was just RM1 and fully covered. Even if you drove into the VIP area, it was just another RM1.

In this society of ours, you have to pay more even to look silly.
