Bad treatment at O R Tambo airport

I went to O R Tambo airport last night, 21 November, to pick up my son after a flight from Port Elizabeth. I waited on a backroad close to the airport until he phoned and said he is waiting at the pick up area. I drove into the terminals and stop at a demarcated parking spot. As I stopped, a young parking attendant came to my car and addressed me very rudely. He shouted to me that I should go wait for.my son in the parcade. However, my son was already at the vehicle, and I drove off within two minutes.

I am not used to be treated this rudely. I paid a huge amount of airport tax when I bought my son's ticket and I parked in a dedicated parking spot. Why do the parking attendants treat people this way? Why are there demarcated parking spots at the terminal to pick up passengers if I am not allowed to park there?

This was not the first time this happened. As far a possible, I will not buy a ticket for arrival or departure for OR Tambo airport again. The treatment at.O R Tambo is far below accepted standards. I have never been treated like this at Lanseria airport, which will now be my airport of choice.

I hope tourist's from abroad is treated with more respect, other wise it is a very bad picture of South Africa.
