I get how she feels about it. I was upset when I first took my current job and they didn't tell me I had to park in a municipal lot where you pay by the hour. When I brought it to the owner's attention they said just put a note on your dashboard that you work here and they won't bother you since they used to own that lot before the township forced them to sell it to them for public use. I also came to realize that my friend's husband is in the upper levels of the police department in that township so in over 2 years of working there, I haven't gotten a ticket yet.

Yes we live in the boondocks but she goes into the big city to work.
They've been trying to cut costs by banning overtime and other measures. She's been working there NOTHING but 17 years and has never had to pay. Even the patients never had to pay. Now the patients will pay $4 per day.
I know parking in the city is very expensive and in the big picture we won't even feel this. I told her that she would have her parking fee covered within the first three minutes of her shift.. But going after your employees to generate extra income is not something I feel is a good practice.
