Update: Since inquiry minds want to know, here is the reason (which I found out after several emails to the completely apathetic Mayor) why I got the ticket (drumroll please) because I left the property to go somewhere else. So, If you are a mom strolling the mall with a baby but buy nothing, you are welcome. If you are a mall-walker just doing your daily exercises, but buy nothing, you are welcome too! But if you are trying to hit two birds with one stone and think you can park at the mall and do a few other errands while you're there, beware! Mississauga's hospitality knows no bounds! It made me feel so wanted, all warm and fuzzy inside, they really know how to treat their visitors. They had plenty of empty parking spots, I guess they just need some extra money for their renovations.
I invite everyone to visit Unionville or Mainstreet Markham where the parking is always free and plentiful! You will be treated as a paying guest should be treated, not like a criminal.
