Yea that’s a big deterrent. It’s not even about the actual amount which is rather insignificant. It’s about the principle. I can go to Shorthills, Willowbrook, Jersey gardens, or Woodbridge and get free parking. I gotta pay to park to shop mid range stores and go to an AMC but the mall with the aquarium and Dave and busters has free parking. The mall with the apple store and all the high class stores has free parking. The other mall that has a movie theater has free parking. If I’m parking it’s apparent that I have a car. I can go somewhere else. At least American dream mall has an amusement park and water park amongst other outrageous Shit before they charge you for parking.
