Last time I was told "no" I was with 2 other guys. I did ask the driver to call her boss and check.

She barely missed running over my foot.
It was lame how she did it and left us hanging there.

So, asking for a call once denied may not work.
I think that what could make a difference is being able to say "call Shirley"***, which now might carry a little more clout (?)...or they just tell the drivers in general that we are allowed as a group and reduce it to a much less frequent conflict. I'm hoping that with a little effort we can remove the ambiguity amongst the drivers.

I'm actually thinking of keeping Shirleys number with me just in case, even if she tells me tomorrow that we'll never be denied. Damn, I'll even have her name and number tatooed to my ass if that seals the deal
