Sayang din kasi dyan ako sa Centris nagbabayad ng bills ng credit card, telepono at kuryente kasi walang pila ang sm bayad center at wala ngang bayad ang parking. Sana meron silang free parking if less than 30 mins ang stay. Katulad ko pumupunta lang ako dun para magbayad ng bills.

Kaya gustong gusto ko diyan sa SM Fairview coz of its free parking. Ang lawak pa ng parking area niya but the downside is, it's not covered parking. Kahit na malaki yang mall na yan, at least they never made it a pay parking.

kahit ako maiinis kung mag grocery ako or whatever then i have to walk towards the farther part of the parking lot, or worse the perimeters of the mall lot, tapos yung UV peeps sitting pretty sa loob ng vans nila.

I dont get it, ano na violate nilang rules? Did SM have rules against UV express using parking lot? Private vehicle lang ba dapat sa free parking lot na yun?

Yung mga pasahero ng mga yun kasi eh mall goers din. I don't see mall admins banning them anytime soon. Importante sa mall ang mga customers na dala nila.

Kahit meron ka lang guess na nakacheck-in, free din ang parking just use his/her room number sa validation.

for private institutions, we cannot do anything about this naman. Kase kung ako yung business owner tapos makikita ko yung mga customers ko walang maparadahan dahil puno yung free parking ko ng mga customer ng kabilang restaurant or ng mga empleyado ng opisina sa tapat eh maniningil din ako. Kung magrereklamo yung mga nakikiparada ng libre or di naman customer, isasara ko nalang yung parking ko.

Ah!

Speaking of parking.

Last Friday, first time to park again in BGC after awhile.

Automated na pala ang bayad dun sa parkade ......... ang hirap when one is slightly "inebriated" ..............

That is exactly how to fend off non-patrons, by charging an insane amount.

I would think this is ok. Every time I go to visit my doctor in MMC, I would have a hard time parking there.

i think those rates posted sa OP ay para sa valet parking. Yung ginagamitan ng lifter. Iwan mo lang sasakyan mo sa lobby, bahala na sila mag park for you. Kaya mahal.

pero kung sa B2 or B3 ka magpark, regular rates lang.
