No, you’re seeing something that you don’t agree with and subsequently making a significant assumption.
Yeah, because it’s sooo much easier to think people are somehow mentally deficient rather than to accept that others have differing opinions.
That doesn’t mean that life becomes a free ride - pricing is an important element in demand management. Choosing to charge (or to change the charge) for something (like parking) is designed to change the way people interact with the thing (product or service) they’re being charged for.
Paying for parking can be inconvenient (and can add up), but ultimately it should make you think about the need to drive to a location (especially where alternate modes of transport are available). Many centre operators offset some of the costs for staff (knowing that alternate options may not be there or practical), but that shouldn’t necessarily be a full offset.
This is not a situation where only a single industry is impacted by this either - lots of people across a wide range of industries have to pay to drive and park for work.
I go back to the point I made earlier in the thread - parking is an inefficient (and expensive) land use, many of these large shopping centres have more floor space dedicated to car parking than they do to the reason the car park exists, the services that are inside the centre. But they’re needed to manage demand - a need that is in part driven by the failure to build adequate public transportation networks that service major attractors.
Your point? Someone has to be the dickhead, the devil’s advocate, the Sam Newman round here. And I know that pisses A LOT of you off.
So what if I see a corporate strategy and think its bullshit. Guess what, you may run the joint, but I’m not changing my thoughts on it.
Every one has a mental deficiency in one way or another. Even you, the other mods, Radiohead, all the other users, everyone in Sussex Street, Canberra, North Sydney, Washington, 100% of the earth’s population.
Yes, everyone has a differing opinion. In other news, the sky is blue and gress is green. I’m stating mine. You have yours, as does everyone else, and I think everyone else is wrong. It’s an internet forum - we have about as much power as a turd in the toilet.
This reminds me of the drunk on the train who got the shits because my restless legs acted up to his detriment and he thought it was caused by anxiety and tried to argue his point.
So they should. You’re a pretty shitty employer if you have to charge people to park. My employers are fucking stupid, trust me. Treat your people like they’re the goose that lays the golden egg - they’ll keep doing it if you treat them right.
Ok, so the exterior signage for Big W in Mt Gambier was changed over to the new logo font about 3 weeks or so ago. I don’t know about the interior signage as I didn’t go into the shopping centre.
Back when Woolworths were trying hard to replicate the success of Walmart and other American big box stores as much as they could with Big W. I actually like the current one, mixes both previous ones to stand apart more
Not that hard to be successful against K-Mart. Just say in your ads "We’ve got stuff you actually want from brands you’ve heard of. Also, the W stands for willy. So we’ve got Big Willies here. ".
At 0:08 point one women hands her baby to someone so she can join the fight. Then he gives the baby to a women so he can join in. Whatever you do, don’t lose the fried chook.
