Exit building.
Door slams behind us and we realize that the door was an exit only. Like, doors do not even have handles that we can attempt to pry open. We are in an alley. We have no idea how we will get back in building to retrieve car after the show.
In fact, we don't really have a clear idea of exactly where we have parked.
However.
Husband says. Let's go and worry about this later.
(Later)
Exit spectacular show humming Dancing Queen. Pouring rain.
Walk to where we believe we parked.
No entry.
Walk around city block looking for open door.
All locked.
Finally find sign posted that states If you have trouble getting in, call This Number or go to This Address.
We go to This Address.
Locked.
But Wait.
These buildings are all part of the same development and I think I see someone opening a glass door across the street.
Follow him in and walk to Security at end of hall.
Explain our situation (blah blah parked, blah blah locked, blah blah get in).
Let me see your parking ticket. Security says.
Husband pulls out white paper receipt with arrow on it.
Security takes it and says. You see how it has these numbers on it?
Yeah?
They are a code.
OK?
Walk back to where you drove your car in. Between the two garage doors you will see an unmarked keypad. Punch in code, including the * symbol.
Door will open.
Let Me Get This Straight
With no notification anywhere, we were expected to look on the parking coupon.
We should have known immediately that the string of numbers and symbols was a code.
We were then supposed to go to the garage doors where we entered the parking lot in our car, which was nowhere near the pedestrian exit to the garage.
We should have seen the unmarked keypad nestled between the two doors.
We should have understood that this code should be punched into that keypad.
Huh.
