    If this happens again; shut off the car, lock it and go back to get your receipt validated.
    Let us know how that works out. I think the guards will have a sh*t.

    I was in Bdo robinsons yesterday and asked the girl behind desk of they had to move due to the expansion of the mall. Yes they are moving along with everyone along that outer edge upto the bingo hall so it seems.
    Its going to take 3 years to finish the whole project which does not surprise me the speed they work. I think sm seaside in cebu was finished in less time than that.
    Im wondering where they will add all the exra parking they will need! I doubt that has crossed their minds.

    Certainly is BUT when you do and you have a Good 1+ meter clearance either side of the car Idiots in SUV's they can't drive still manage to scrape you, I say SUV because the damage done to my car is quite high to have been a saloon, we were put in place by The Security Guys who are doing there best [?] to manage what space is left BUT Ciaz, Robinson Mark.jpg

    Most unfortunate that whilst they have released some more Car Parking Areas where the Bikes used to be,they have not altered the Cameras to Cover the Areas
    Sad day all round really

    However, customers who own (newer model) cars and SUVs would tend to be more affluent with more spending power, they can bring in a carload of friends and relatives and ultimately use less parking area than motorcycles and they can go to places like the supermarket and purchase a week’s groceries or make larger more profitable purchases from other stores that have larger, big ticket items such as TV’s, generators and so on that are difficult to haul on a motorcycle. If I were operating a business that sold groceries or large, big ticket items I would certainly prioritize car parking over motorcycle parking. City Mall is most notorious for ignoring the parking needs of Customers in cars, whom they essentially force you to park on the roof and use stairs to access the mall since the elevators don’t work. You have the option to park illegally in a few spaces along the parking lot drive. The guard may chase you away. We usually don’t shop there. The larger malls in Cebu seem to recognize the advantage of respecting car drivers but Dumaguete preferences seem to prioritize motorcycles for some reason. I may be forced to buy a motorcycle for that very reason but am resisting doing so because I just don’t like those vehicles, actually motor scooters, not real motorcycles generally speaking, in which accidents causing physical injury are much more likely, perhaps inevitable.

    It does not matter whether it is the coffee @ Sans Rival or else. Each time I spend money on groceries, dining out, etc., prices went up. Inflation is really going out of control nowadays, looks like Du30 is not able to handle it.

    You underestimate the motorcycle loading capabilities of Filipinos.

    Each of those riders could be carrying at least 4 full plastic bags each, and one could easily fit a 50' television between each rider. I've hauled at least 12 plastic bags of groceries on a scooter with just one back rider.

    Larger items....no problem:

    I reckon they might just fit 10 on one Bike mate. We had 11 Family Members not including the Driver and myself (conservatively I put myself at 1.5 people and I am sticking to that figure! :tongue: lol) on our old Tricycle where we traveled from Maluay to the Airport when I was going back to Oz in 2014... :biggrin:

    Not much chance this time of year leading up to Christmas especially at weekends. I end up parking near where the jeepneys park.
