A parking attendant is responsible for managing a parking facility, such as a parking lot or garage. They have various duties, including collecting fees, providing parking tickets, and directing customers to available spaces. In some cases, they may also park and retrieve vehicles for customers, as well as keeping the parking area clean and free of debris. Additionally, they assist customers in finding their vehicles and ensure that each car has the proper ticket or permit. They also oversee the security of the facility and call tow trucks when necessary.
