There is always a space available, even if everyone registered for the bike parking rode in on a single day! The only challenge is that security have a list of names and assigned numbers that they just put a tick mark against every day when you ride in. I have numbers for people who use them sporadically so I am just going to rotate through those on days I know they arent using them, be friendly and just explain the situation if questioned. Successful day #1.
Our in house facilities management are happy to take credit when things have to be done (even when tehy are done poorly) but otherwise are very difficult to deal with. At one point they were trying to tell us that 27C temperatures in our area of the office were acceptable and only did something when we threatend to take it to the COO.
Edit - Karma for my complaining about them...apparently both the chillers in our building just failed simultaneously. Its about to get hot in here.
Cycle in and lock your bike up, if the space is available they most likely won't clock on for a while and when they do be vague about who said you could and ask what the problem with it is. Either that or they notice on the day and the argument is turned upto 11 and resolved once and for all.
Also having worked in facilities management before we had a messed up system where my bosses for the building wanted tenants to give something in writing to say they understood it was at own risk(never asked this for a car which could be stolen/damaged) and so some tenants just couldn't be bothered to do this for employees and would fob them off the same as they might be with you.
