That, however, is sometimes true.  Parking spaces are generally part of 
the shop property, and some business owners are a real pain the ass about 
it, even hiring towing companies who camp out to tow or boot cars of non-
customers.

In our neighborhood, we've got a shop like that in an area where space is 
restricted - and they're *never* busy (they're a beauty supply store, and 
rarely do they have more than a couple of customers at any given time).

They could probably pay their bills by letting people use their lot and 
charging for parking, and provide validations for their own customers.  
Instead, they prefer to have the entire neigborhood hate them.
