@ Lance: And at least at that Target I won't have to play with that silly 'shopping cart' escalator!

Clearly, you never venture out to the Springfield mall.

And of course the 'adding insult to injury' part was having to pay $2 bucks to get out of that garage ... for a wasted trip.

Oh the horror. Of course you could have shopped online, walked or biked to the store, or taken a bus/metro. Or gone out of the District. But noooo, stubborn Lance wanted to support the DC tax base and chose to go there, knowing that you had to pay to park, having all these other options. And now you're upset that you had to pay to park? Really. Lemons -> lemonade: At least you still supported DC a bit through the parking tax!

Anyway, Lance's anecdote here is further proof that despite higher sales tax rates, poor service due to DC hiring restrictions and paid parking, District residents still choose to stay in the District for their shopping, while not making true on their threats to leave the District and shop elsewhere in shopping heavens.
