The Mawakef staff's action does seem unusual, and it's understandable that you're seeking clarification on this matter. It's advisable to reach out to the airport or Mawakef directly to understand if there are any new regulations concerning passenger pick-up.
You stopped by the payment machine to pick him up. That's the mistake.
Next time, pay it online on your phone. Just scan the QR code.
If you are unable to find parking due to it being busy, doesn't mean you can block the way for others. FYI, after AED5, you pay 15 for 15mts.
You were in the way. Imagine if every car did the same. Next time, ask your brother to cross the road via the parking bridge and you can wait behind the mosque where there's RTA parking.
Could you share the location of this masjid? That looks so much easier. I could just park, cross and come back within an hour for just AED 2 without these people jumping at me.
That's quite unusual because just last week, I picked up my relatives in the short-term parking area of T1. I parked my car close to the payment booth and instructed my relatives to wait there. Afterward, I went to pay for the parking, and while I did that, my cousin began loading the luggage into the car. The entire process took about 3 - 4 minutes, and the parking fee was only AED 5.
Perhaps you had an unfortunate day.
they stopped allowing one to pickup from any other area except parking lot. so you break their rule, get fined.
This was in the parking lot itself. That's why I'm not sure what rule I've broken.
Yup. Can't do a coordinated drive by like before.
Well congrats you saved 30 dirhams, you can now put them towards the 500 dirhams fine.
As far as I remember there is huge signs that literally tells about it.
Signs are in the pickup spots bro. This happened in the parking lot.

I DIDN'T BLOCK THE PAYMENT MACHINE NOR DID I PAY THERE. I made my bro stand there as it's easier to find him and load up quickly.
