I have been told to keep my blog entries shorter.

Lets try - I went back to double check - and yes, staff in this particular shopping centre does use the prime car parking space close to the entrances - La Cañada.

The prime car parking area was full well before the official opening time at 10.00.

Why is this bad? Well staff are using car parking spaces for the whole time of their shift and are not generating any turnover.

A customer car parking space is used serveral times a day by different visitors:

Average visiting time around 2-3 hours (+/-) during 12 hours of opening = 4-6 uses. If we now multiply this with the average shopping ticket we get the daily turnover value of the parking space.
