The
other
night
I
got
booted
in
the
lot
in
front
of
Trader
Joes.
I
blame
the
business
owners
for
this.
I
had
come
early,
around
6pm
to
see
Lamb
at
the
theater
(which
was
playing
at
7pm);
parked
in
that
lot
near
Trader
Joes,
initially.
My
friend
wanted
to
go
get
ice
cream;
I
wanted
coffee;
so
we
got
the
idea
to
go
get
ice
cream
at
a
store
close
by,
and
then
come
back,
get
coffee.
We
went
to
the
ice
cream
place,
but
there
was
a
line,
so
we
left
sans
ice
cream,
immediately
came
back
to
Starbucks
(10
minutes
had
elapsed),
then
went
to
Trader
Joes,
then
when
I
got
back
to
my
car,
it
was
booted.
I
told
the
woman
I
shopped
there,
and
she
said,
"We
know...
we
saw
you."
But
that
was
irrelevant
next
to
their
collecting
that
$75.
I'm
never
going
to
the
Promenade
again
--
I
only
go
to
(1)
Support
Landmark
theater,
which
looks
like
it
needs
the
business
(sincerely!);
(2)
I
like
Metro
Fresh's
healthy
food;
(3)
At
random
times,
it's
convenient
to
go
to
the
Starbucks
and/or
Trader
Joes;
(4)
On
rare
occasions,
I
go
to
Mellow
Mushroom.
I
probably
spend
about
$50
to
$100
/
week
at
that
mall,
which
adds
up
to
about
$2,500
to
$5,000
/
years.
No
more!
