i may have an explanation but i stress first is theory, i not
the security guard there.
very likely they onli have 1 bike wheel clamp in store. i doubt ANY
managed carpark got buy so many car/bike clamps keep in store.
security guard job include prevent illegal parking. so if the guard
see a lot of bikes illegal park, he will clamp for 2 reasons: a)the
sight of one bike clamped likely to deter would-be illegal parkers
who just go inside carpark and see a clamped bike, and b)show his
manager he do his job coz manager walk around see illegally parked
bikes will ask the guard why never do job, so guard will clamp one
and manager will see he got do his job. i think like this coz my
skul the basement carpark, office hours bike illegally park will
confirm kena 'pink letter' or clamp, but after five deans cabut the
guard will bochap all the bikes there.
so guard come down, see a lot bikes illegal park, he take out his
one and onli clamp and will anyhow choose bike to clamp, maybe the
one most obvious for ppl to see. u ask why he pick on scooter? then
if he clamp racer the owner will ask why pick on racer, he clamp
honda cub owner will ask why pick on cub-kia, then story will never
end.
u ask why must talk nice then can escape? coz release clamp the fee
u pay oso not go their pocket, go management pocket. if go their
pocket i think they ownself buy more clamps for good investment.
they just do their job, they dun care the money, u tok nicely they
release free then they just do their job all over again lor.
u ask why u talk they just walk off? if i the guard oso i not
happy, i just try do my job feed my family, clamp a bike dat realli
illegal park can kena kao pei so much by the owner. how u want the
guard respond? "sorry i got onli one clamp"? "sorry i anyhow
choose"? both these the truth but u get this answer will u say "oh
like that than its ok lor"?
u ask why then they never clamp another bike? by then they so sian
kena kao pei until like that, they wanna clamp another bike oso no
mood already. they clamp another bike maybe second owner will kao
pei, they keep u kao pei, wat izzit they can do right?
and finally, by then the guard will also already explain to the
supervisor plus their own complains bout ur reaction, even the
supervisor not happy to entertain u.
understand this: YES i agree not fair. if i kena like dat oso i not
happy, suay suay i onli bike kena. i will definitely kao pei to all
my frens, but i will not kao pei to the management or the guards.
why? coz realli i illegal park, what can i say? they just doing
their job, they got family to feed, and there is no clear evidence
that show they deliberately take advantage of me for their own
gains. i onli trying to say, spare a thought for them.
