Really Bad Experience sa SM City Parking

Nisuwod ko sa indoor parking nila gahapon and I was about to stop sa ilahang parking ticket booth PERO katong baye sa booth nisignal ra nga deretso ra by waving her left hand from front to back so I didn't stop and proceeded, and I thought naay another ticket booth after her pero wala man tawo sa next booth. So, I just assumed na wala na ticket ticket sa parking sa SM (kay anyway fixed rate man sa ilaha, 30 PHP regardless how many hours ka nagpark didto).

Then, pagawas na ko and I stopped at the pay parking booth and give the guy 30 PHP. He asked for the parking ticket/card. I told them na I didn't receive any because the lady at the booth signaled me to just continue driving.

So, he called the guard and interrogated me at the side. Take note ha, nagbayad na ko og 30 PHP sa ilaha and they treated me like a cheater/crimina/law-breaker (however you call it). The interrogation lasted for 15 mins. He kept asking me why I didn't have any parking ticket. I explained to him everything again. He claimed that I was actually given a ticket. I denied it and told him to check their cctv. Told him that the lady at the booth signaled me to keep driving. He said she just wanted me to go to the next booth. I told him that there was no one at the booth after hers, and besides, nobody stopped me from entering their parking area (there was even a guard near the booth watching everyone entering their parking but he didnt stop me).

He still forced me to stay as they had do further investigation (all of this for a 30 PHP parking that I ALREADY PAID). I really lost my temper and started raising my voice as he continued interrogating me. They made it look like it was my fault when I just followed the instruction of that lady at the booth, and I already paid for the parking ticket regardless. I paid them fair and square yet they withheld me like I was a shop lifter. I really felt a huge embarrassment being withheld there.

Finally, he gave me a blank paper and pen and he asked me to write a statement about what happened, but of course I declined. I didn't want to be inconvenient any further, and who knows what they would do with that paper with my signature on it. My point was it wasn't my fault in the first place and I already paid them the parking even without a ticket.

At the end, I think napul-an na lang siya so he just let me go and told me next time to ask a parking ticket next time. That really irked me and I wanted to shout at him na maybe do your job better next time but I didn't want it to last longer so I just drove away.
