Guest tries to enter a closed campground to park their car, and instead they end up blowing their tires with the spikes, now they are upset the front desk won't fix it: 'They were SHOCKED that I said they needed to figure it out themself'

The campground I work at closes at 10pm until 5:30 am. This is important because with the gate closed, no one can drive in, and the nearest legal parking is over a mile away (and violators get ticketed regularly). However it is important to note that there is a one way spiked lane that allows people to exit whenever they want for any reason (especially emergencies). Now I'm sure you can guess that

people might try and go in anyways, over the spikes. I've heard guests say they manually held them down, or put a plank down, various different ideas. And occassionaly someone manages to blow a tire by rolling backwards on their way out. The one thing that rarely happens, is someone just driving all the way over the wrong way. All that said to lead up to last night. I came into work in the

afternoon as per usual since I work swing. During my lunch. break I was told that there was a car further into the campground that had 4 flats, almost certainly they had driven in the previous night, and decided to drive on all flats allllll the way to the campsite. This wasn't too odd, like I said, it happens. No, none of that is worth remembering, what blew my mind instead was that later on

someone returned to the campground, stopped by my booth, and decided to ask what I was going to do about their car, and then were SHOCKED that I said they needed to figure it out themself. So shocked that they asked for my name, presumably to give me a glowing review on our nonexistant review board. I realize I may have rambled, sorry bout that.

lady-of-thermidor A tow truck with flatbed took the car to a tire shop. Four new tires later plus the tow is maybe $1000. How did things play out?

yoursecretsanta2016 I get anxious driving over those the correct direction, usually when getting a rental car. I can't imagine purposefully driving over them and expecting someone else to fix it. Any chance they were driving a BMW? Possibly with runs-flats? They think they can do anything without consequences.

lokis_construction Better yet is when they go, "you need to fix my tires and open up at 5 am because I have an early appointment". Yes your high and mighty. It, isn't happening.
