When my kids were born, decades ago, the hospital gave me free parking on the day they were born. But only on that day. Once each for both kids.
I never figured out how they knew. But the guy at the parking booth says "You keep that (money) for the new babys college fund. This ones on the house." The parking ticket was kept in the car and not validated by anyone. To my knowledge names were never correlated to cars or tickets.
I asked him how he knew and he just smiled. And decades later still have not figured it out.
But it made me feel the security people were on the ball.
