Cray Plaza Ramp

Not bad. On Monday — Friday nights it’s only $ 5 if your in the 4pm — midnight time.
Parked here for saints game and it was $ 10 event. Very close walk.

What a travesty
Should have pissed inside of it
Cheap, cheap, cheap bastards
I’ve parked in this ramp in the past, and it was not horrible. It is the ramp that is underneath Galtier Plaza nka Cray Plaza. The ramp is under new management (Interstate Parking) which really seems to like to squeeze a dollar for all that it is worth.
I pulled into the ramp about 6:25 this evening — think it was maybe like 5 bucks when I parked there in the past. I did not have time to look for street parking. Once I turned in I then saw a sign that said evening parking $ 10.00 flat rate. Already had another car behind me so I had swam to far from the shore and took a most regrettable plunge.
Got back to the ramp about two hours later and drive to the exit. No attendant. Drop your ticket in a box and pay ten dollars (cash only) into a machine. I’m plastic only per usual. Back out and re-​park. Run upstairs to the cash machine. Pay a two dollar ATM fee plus whatever my credit union charged me to get my own money. Go back downstairs with a stack of twenties. Machine will take a twenty, but only gives you your change in quarters. It’s in my coffee cup holder now waiting for my next road trip with a bunch of toll booths.
After scooping out the ten dollars worth of change, the gate had already closed on me. Called the attendant. Just one minute, sir.
I can understand cutting down on labor costs and getting rid of the on-​site attendant, but if you are going to go that route then get a credit card machine at the exit! It is 2014! This ramp is the equivalent of an 8-​track tape.
