We Are Nephew-sing You Entry

I work parking for a small seasonal theme park. We have a long dirt road with a few access points into the parking lot and one exit that all the lots lead to. We also have an employee-only backroad that’s paved. It is small and we are only allowed to let people go through it if they have an employee shirt.

I am working and a woman and her kids drive up and try to skip the line by going in the employee line. I hold out my hand and go to the window.

Me: “Do you have an employee shirt?”

She rolls down her window.

Customer: “Don’t worry. My nephew works here. He told me to go here and tell you it was okay.”

I immediately get suspicious because, as employees, we aren’t allowed to give special treatment to family.

Me: “I’m sorry, but I’m not allowed to let you through here. You’re going to have to pull through to the dirt road.”

Customer: “No! He said it was fine! Don’t be a d**k!”

When I asked who “he” was, she just got annoyed and drove off.
