a dollar for 10 minutes’ parking!!

I had to drop Steev off at 1 Utama today to meet his friends for a movie. Since we were there early and we weren’t sure if we could get any tickets, seeing that it’s the school holidays and all, I thought I’d pop up to GSC with him.
I just wanted to step out of my car for like 5 minutes to run up to GSC with Steev. The guard told me I could park across the street near the park. Great! But the minute I got out of my car, he motioned me to get back in and stay there. Huh??
Obviously since he’s a Nepalese guard, we had major communications problems. So where can I park for just 5 minutes? I mean, gimme a break, even Ikano has a couple of parking spots outside where the guard lets you park for 5 minutes!!
He pointed to the basement parking but I said I’m not going to pay a dollar just to park for 5 minutes. He said the first 30 minutes is free.
Oh okay, I thought, that’s fair though in the back of my mind, I seriously doubted 1 Utama would be that generous!! No choice, I had to go to basement parking, rushed up to GSC and was at the ticketing machine in 10 minutes expecting not to have to pay anything!
My hunch was right! There is NO free 30 minutes. The darned machine charged me a dollar for 10 minutes parking. Dang it!!! Well, if you’re going to charge for every single darned thing, at least train your staff so they can give accurate information, dang it!
