I have read alot of the negative stuff about this guy, but I have never had a problem. Most of the time when I go I just put the 5 dollars in the slot and drive on. The times I have talked to him he has been fine and I remember once talking to a lady who was behind the screen and she seemed nice. I would forget the beer idea and just stop at the sign and give the money and be on my way. I just wish for the 5 dollars I pay and all the other money he gets that the last part of the road to the parking area was alot smoother.
