Does this not happen in other countries? It's not exactly common in the US, but you will see it dense areas sometimes where a) parking is limited and costs money and b) businesses provide parking free of charge to their own customers.

- justinlardinois 10y agoWhen you think about it from a business's perspective it makes sense. If a bunch of people who aren't your customers fill up your lot, and there isn't nearby parking or it costs money, potential customers will arrive and might leave without patronizing your business because they can't find a place to park. Obviously it's annoying when it's enforced as overzealously as the above example.
