Walked past the T1 area on my way to pick up a cheap two-day Enterprise weekender. All the stalls were pretty well full. Midsize section had a good number of Fusions (at least one of which was a Sport AWD), and there were 1 or 2 Passats even. Why do they bring out the good stuff when they know I'm not renting? Fullsize was the usual suspects: Impalas, Altimas, and a couple of Chargers. Didn't spot anything special or eye-catching on the ES row or in the SUV area. The Emerald Aisle was still housing overflow returned cars at this point.

When I returned on Monday, I had a Rent Rent Reward day rental. The T1 lot was EMPTY. Nothing in Midsize, Fullsize, SUV, or Executive. The Emerald Aisle had a single Malibu with no front plate, likely a US-plated car. They did have a handful of cars in the return lane, so chances are the recent snowfall was slowing down operations a bit. As there were a few people queueing in the lot I decided to hop the tram and try T3.

T3 had a single Altima on the lot parked on the EA. Again, nothing elsewhere. Not my top choice, but it only has 1,700 km on it and it meant I didn't have to wait around or book with someone else. I jumped in it noticing that there were a few people in the National customer service booth.

I pulled up to the exit gate expecting that I might have jumped a pre-established queue and would be turned around. It wasn't the case, and the agent processed the rental and sent me on my way to drive past several Emerald Club customers who were now waiting for cars and eyeing me in my comfy Altima. I felt a bit like Martin Riggs taunting the displeased South African diplomats from Lethal Weapon 2.
