@Ruth_Mottram I think it's that they pay for your parking or something like that

@Ruth_Mottram @stux I had to google it

@stux @Ruth_Mottram In larger American cities, most parking is paid by the hour. When you visit a business, they often provide an incentive and pay for you (up to an hour). They “validate” your parking receipt so you can exit for free. In the suburbs, businesses are required to have a minimum number of parking spots by zoning law. Usually for free. But the business pays for that and charges you in their prices. And we drive further between acres of parking lots.
