What would you do to get your preferred parking space? Some might say that towing seven cars is a little extreme—whether or not those cars are technically supposed to be parked there. This is especially the case when you’re just a guest staying at a hotel and in no way have a stake in said hotel.
This Karen took issue with the fact that there were a bunch of non-electric cars parked in the electric car parking spaces, but parking at the location was extremely limited, so it was essential that all spaces operated on a first-come-first-serve basis, with staff members taking up the electric car charging parks so that their cars could be easily moved.
Why not have the employees park elsewhere, you ask? Well, if you’ve ever worked somewhere where this has been required, you’d know that this can lead to employees (particularly those working closing, opening, or after hours shifts) into unsafe situations, having employees venture away from the premises to remote car parks places them and their vehicles at increased risk of crime.
To say that Karen wasn’t stoked about the parking situation is an understatement. She had an electric vehicle, and by golly, it was going to be charged that instant! Rather than listen to logical reasoning and allow the front desk clerk the time to get employees to move their cars, she set to sorting the situation herself.
