Today we went to Baystreet. It was like a different world
compared to Point. There were four guards on the day shift and they were
actually interested to show us what to do. We were told what they wanted us to
do, we were showed around properly and we were given things to do. I had a
purpose!
Baystreet isn’t actually bigger than Point, but it is right
next to Paceville, the night club hell, and there are a lot more customers (and
oh so little parking space). First we were shown around and went patrolling with
other guard. The first difference comes here: He told us what things to look
when patrolling, which we weren’t told in Point.
For the rest of the day we mostly did parking space
watching, either inside the center or in the outside. The inside parking area
is small and the sign which announces whether the parking area is full or not,
is very poorly lightened. So we stood on the entrance of the parking area and
when a car tried to come in, we told the driver if the area was full or not.
The outside parking area was closed for everyone except for builders’ cars.
There is a massive renovation going on in the Baystreet, half of the building
is covered in scaffolding. So in the outside parking area we just asked people
who tried to drive there if they were builders. If not, we asked them to park
elsewhere. We also did patrolling around the day.
The day flew past and Baystreet was a pleasant working
environment. This was one of the rare days I felt like we were given something
real to do, something that would need to be done even if we weren’t there. We
worked in pairs, so that both of us worked with one of the guards who have been
there for longer. The people who worked there were very nice and friendly. I
really want to go there again.
