Ppl park their cars in semi spaces then ask for $15 to park there

Went to park at a truck stop just west of New Orleans, it had plenty of spaces but all of the spots had cars or cones on them. Went inside and ask if I had to pay for parking the girl at the desk said it was free as long as I could find a spot. Went back outside and a dude comes up to me asks for $15 so he could move one of the cars. Is this normal down here?   submitted by   /u/Lopsided_Pension_ [link]   [comments]
