He gives them a ticket if he thinks it is an employee. If it turns out to be a customer who is just frequenting the same place every day (not very often the case) we explain why he thought they were an employee, then we say we are sorry and cancel the citation.

We struggle with how do you tell and employee from a costumer.  How much time does your Parking Enforcement Officers spend actively pursuing a vehicle owner that is believe to be owned by a downtown employee without a permit?

> Salem is notorious for ticketing. An idea I have seen is employers in the area give employees a sticker, which notifies parking enforcement that this is an employee. I know for a fact that just the scenario you have outlined has happened in Salem--it happened to me when I was in the area for a meeting. This discourages repeat customers for certain types of businesses.
