Go ahead Wayne, keep supporting this decision. Legal obligation or not, there is no GOOD reason for keeping those spots empty all day every weekday. There really isn't.

Where does Costco and every other tenant in that mall think our spending money comes from? It's called DISPOSABLE INCOME. If we blow all our money on gas--that means we aren't spending it in your stores!

For me it goes like this:

1. Mortgage
2. Food
3. Utilities
4. TRANSPORTATION COSTS
5. Luxury utilities (cable, internet, netflix, etc)
6. Savings deposit
7. THEN i take what I have left and go to the mall!!

It's pretty straightforward bud. If we all moved close, there wouldn't be a mall here at all...

Sure.

1. Fewer people are parking at PM because there are fewer available spaces.

2. You joined this message board for the sole purpose of antagonizing people. Seriously, dude, I'm all for PM limiting its slugger parking, but the tone of your posts makes me not want to shop at your mall.

Costco is part of what got this "issue" going that and the fact that a possible new tenant saw that there were more than 1400 commuters in the lot one day and decided to not sign a lease since they saw this as a potential issue with their customer base. This is what was explained to me by PM Security and mgmt. The fact that even now with only 950 spots, it is more than what PM has to legally give, which is 275 spots.
On a side note, now that gas prices are going down, Ive noticed the lot doesnt fill up quite as fast now. I wonder what happened to all those who stated its for the environment but now that gas is nearly a dollar cheaper than it was 2 months ago, they seem to say to hell with the environment and drive now. Just an observation, and not one against all, just the few fakers who are too cheap to either live closer to work or pay for gas at a premium price.
Any thoughts?

I am guessing the real culprit here is Costco.


They are PM's newest tenant. Hasn't someone here said they were the ones who complained about the "lack" of parking? If they are complaining, and threatening PM, then PM really has no recourse but to enforce their contract.

Anyone know if this is the case?

What happened to the guy that said he was going to use his connections to do something about this issue?

One more thing, so Im a shill/plant for opening a business in PM and having 5 employees who work for me? So it is bad that I opened my own business and have employed several people in the community? Or is it because I opened at PM which is the site of the most recent clash due to Commuting/slugging and gas prices?
Would it surprise you that I offer full benefits to all my employees when I could just as easily not provide them? That my wife (who slugs to her job in DC daily) and I do this because we feel it is the moral and just thing to do as opposed to not providing them and saving ourselves a few bucks? If thats being a troll shill/plant, then yeah I guess I am and damn proud of it then. I could think of a lot worse that I could be.
And if my cat comment offended then I apologize, but your comment about "Living in your mom's basement" was eqially offenseive towards me. So I figure with those comments we traded, were even. THough now that youve made the troll, shill/plant comment I guess I owe you one?

As you can see, no hard feelings towards you, simply because to have any hard feelings towards you means I actually care about what yout hink or say and I do not. Not being mean, but being direct and to the point with no malice or ill will.
Have a wonderful weekend and I truly mean it.
~ Wayne

the cat comment was made, in kind, after yours about my living in moms basement, though mom has been gone for many years now. remember saying that?
So if some group wanted to use part of your employers property, etc for their own use and you were concerned then youd be the troll? am I reading between the lines of "your" logic correctly?
Just asking to make sure I am crystal clear on understanding your point of view about the current "issue" at PM.

Wayne, that would be such an awesome post... were it not for the fact that I slug/drive from Route 3, and have made many posts saying that I disagree with the PM boycott.

You also have insulted me personally - something about living alone with 30 cats? As mentioned before, my beef with you is that you're a troll, a PM shill/plant.

well too much coffee, if you have any issues with me, we can sit down and talk about them. I have not bad mouthed or insulted you. I have no problems sittign down with someone and listening to their views and expressing mine. I take a more non confrontational approach, which you seem to lack. But to each their own. Come on into the mall sometime (as opposed to just taking up a parking spot and "slugging"/commuting from here. I'll even provide the coffee for a sit down to hear your grievances against us evil, mean, greedy (Sarcasm, in the event you cant read between the lines)retailers who actually run businesses at PM and depend on having available parking spots some what close to the mall for our customers at the time they wish to come shopping. I understand that you and many others do come to PM to shop, but not daily and not for 10 to 12 hrs a day and thats the point. I am all for PM giving an entire parking lot for Slugs provided that it be somewhat self contained and away form where our customers want to park. Whats wrong with that? I think that would be a fair compromise, wouldnt you agree? (Probably not). Im sure if it were up to you, we'd have valet service as well as provide refreshments as you wait in line for slugs. well? Or would you prefer we empty a section of the mall, build a drive thru so you can wait in a quite, clean and a/c controlled space until you find a ride? I've heard that from a few who actually want that, where do you stand on that?
So Toomuch coffee, if you ever want to sit down and discuss this like a rational, adult, let me know. As for insults, I can sling them out with the best of them. I prefer the rational, adult conversation though it is totally up to you.
