The Maverick Center Parking Guy

I went to my very first Grizzlies game tonight with Eric. We were late. We pulled into the Maverick Center parking lot (totally boxed in with a line of cars behind us) and THEN saw the sign - Parking $6. Eric had no cash. I had $2 and managed to scrounge up $1.50 in change. When I got up to the parking guy, I told him our situation. He said he would take our $3.50 and give us a discount. Then he told us to enjoy the game and our night. I'm thankful for his mercy. I'm sure he could have made us turn around (although I'm not quite sure how...), but I'm thankful he took what we had and let us in!
