Pier 1 Tomas Morato “Parking Boys”

Mich and I are currently in Pier 1, Tomas Morato. It’s a good thing they have free wi-fi here, haha. Anyway, I just wanted to make a quick post. While I was parking, a young kid was there at the parking space in front of the restaurant and guided us to the spot. When I got out, he asked me for P40 parking fee. WTFOMGBBQ!? P40? That’s more expensive than the parking fee I paid Greenhills this afternoon when I went to church! I asked him if he was with Pier 1 and he said yes. To cut a long story short, I paid him the P40 but I made it a point to ask the guards and their supervisor if the kid was with the restaurant. As Mich and I suspected, the kid really wasn’t associated with Pier 1, and one of the guards even explained to us that they’ve been getting a lot of complaints about the “Parking Boys” from a lot of their customers already. It’s a good thing though that the guards were able to recover my P40. But now I’m kinda afraid for the safety of my car, hahaha. >.<; Anyway, let this be a warning to all of you who have plans of eating at Pier 1 Tomas Morato. If a guy asks you for a parking fee, don’t give them anything. Personally I wouldn’t have minded giving the kid spare change after I’ve eaten and maybe he’d help out in guiding the car back out, but that’s not the case. He literally scammed me and that kinda ticks me off.
