I’ve been to North Memorial Hospital a couple times recently. It’s a fine hospital, but they have one major customer service flaw.<\/p>\n
The ATM only dispenses $20s.<\/p>\n
Ok, that’s not actually the flaw. The flaw is that the parking garage doesn’t accept cards.<\/p>\n
Ok, actually, that’s not the flaw either. The flaw is the fact that the parking attendant is invariably crabby and pissed because people hand him $20s all day long. He has hand-written signs all over his booth to let everyone know in advance that the crisp new andrew jackson they hold in their sweaty hands will make him angry.<\/p>\n
Normally, I’d apologize for the fact that I only have a twenty, and dig through my coin tray to see if I can make $3.00 from sticky pennies and nickels. I never can, but I think he appreciates the effort.<\/p>\n
This time, after making a quick trip that fell into the 0-30 Minutes – $1.00 range, I handed him my fresh-from-wells-fargo twenty dollar bell.<\/p>\n
“Got anything smaller?” he barked<\/p>\n
“The ATM doesn’t dispense singles” I retorted.<\/p>\n
I never retort. It felt kind good.<\/p>\n
He proceeded to count out 8 quarters, 2 singles, a five and a ten.<\/p>\n
“Have a nice day…” I said sheepishly as I drove away.<\/p>\n
So North Memorial…. seriously. Either accept credit cards in your parking garage like every other hospital in the city does, or offer free parking. Or get a new parking attendant that doesn’t get angry at something that I can’t control.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
