Gentlemen:
Having trodden upon sore foot one too many times, this calloused parking participant would like to address copious vehicular positioning overflow at this prestigious university, so well known for both its scientific research and impassioned parking police.
An amount of money has been invested by me for parking privileges that is disappropriately incongruent with the afforded car-storage opportunities. Although the appropriated funding was paid with the intent to secure a 24-Hour Reserved spot in lot five, you have failed to provide the aforementioned author with the befitting service rendered. It is not an uncommon occurrence to arrive at the appointed parking space (#6524A) to find that a student, tardy, tenacious, and intrepid, has borrowed the author’s area in order that he or she might punctually enter the academic environment. This, however, is not necessarily the student’s fault; Texas A&M is notorious for overselling its commuter tags to the point of parking impossibility! Regardless of that fact, the epoch it takes this speaker to contact a parking attendant, secure a tower, and have the offending vehicle removed requires such a significant time investment that it is rendered impossible. And where do you suppose I might park my own vehicle whilst awaiting the previously aforementioned process to ensue?
The committance of a FRAUDULENT ACT is performed each and every time you accept payment and compensation for services that you have no honest intention of providing. It is a slap in the face of the American system of judicious capitalism, for which a LAWSUIT should be suggested. However, in a display of greater reserve and patience, these alternative actions are hereby demanded: station a manned parking kiosk at the lot entrance to repulse any illegal parking attempts, arm attendants with instantaneous tow truck access which requires no phone calls and no wait, and commission new parking-overflow strategies for those paying customers who need an emergency alternative.
How this university can afford to build a system of new athletic facilities while ignoring the basic requisite of parking in order to attend to academic priorities is beyond this author’s cognitive ability. Perhaps Texas A&M should be designated a health spa, and all academics should be foresaken!
Yours truly,
Theodore Winston
