Given the choice between a mall with paid parking and a mall with free parking, I'm picking the mall with free parking.
Even if there's some sort of validation system if you buy something, dealing with the whole ticketing system on entry and exit is annoying, and in the circumstances where I don't end up buying anything I have to deal with paying for the parking. It's much less of a hassle to just avoid all that.
- gohrt 10y agoHow much farther will you drive (wasting time and gas) to avoid paid parking? It's the 21st century, paid parking can be a radio transmitter in your car or on your receipt.
- tedunangst 10y agoPeople assess visible and invisible costs very differently. We are, by nature, often penny wise and pound foolish.

Sure, and if enough people agree with you, then businesses will choose to provide free parking of their own accord. But they shouldn't be required to, is the thing.
