Wish I’d checked the validation policy before leaving the store. Garage charges by the hour and I assumed I was good for an hour, but validation is only for 1/2 hour. It’s 1/2 off for 30-120 minutes. Option was to go to Whole Foods and get validated there (2hrs) but I didn’t know because no one answered the phone in a reasonable time (several cycles though automated greeting) and a car pulled up behind me so I had to pay and go. Especially annoying because it’s Sunday so I could have parked on the street for free. Employee who greeted and checked me out from the garage entrance was friendly
