Has anyone experienced this at SS Gardenia Mall parking?
Today I went to watch a movie at SS Gardenia Mall, and parked my bike in the ground-floor parking.
The parking attendant (he was an old man) asked me for ₹10. I didn't have ₹10 (i accept that it's my mistake), so I gave him ₹20. He said he didn't have ₹10 change and told me that he would give me the ₹10 back when I came to take my bike.
I took the parking receipt and went to watch the movie.
After the movie, when I came back to take my bike, the person wasn't there. Initially, I left the mall and went to have coffee. After around 15 minutes, I came back to the parking area to check whether he had returned, but he was still not there.
I eventually had to leave without getting the ₹10 change.
I know it's only ₹10, so the amount isn't really the issue. I'm just wondering whether this is something that happens regularly, where customers are asked to give ₹20 with the promise that the ₹10 change will be returned later.
Has anyone else experienced something similar at SS Gardenia Mall?
I'm not directly accusing anyone of a scam, I just want to know if others have faced the same situation.
Also, what action should I take now? Is there another way I can raise a complaint about the parking staff?
I still have the parking receipt with me.
