Roosevelt Field Mall Parking Issue: Employees Outraged

As the holidays are approaching, there are more people coming into the mall to shop. As a result, parking has become an issue. Mall employees are now being forced to park on the upper level or lower level (basement) of the parking garage or behind a yellow line in the parking lots. The yellow line is about 200 feet away from the mall entrance. 

According to mall security, the purpose of this parking rule is to "accommodate shoppers" and make it a better shopping experience for them for the holidays. But mall employees are not very happy about this. Many mall employees are outraged by the new parking restrictions. "It's ridiculous! most of the employees here are the biggest shoppers." said Andrea Gonzales, a mall employee.

If employees don't obey this new rule, they are subject to be fined or have their car towed.  Mall security is tracking down employees and leaving notes that there car will be towed if they don't park behind the yellow line. 

One mall employee was followed by three security officers because she did not park in the "right spot." So, she was pulled out of her shift and instructed to move her car. 

This new parking rule for employees has been in effect for about a week and will stay in effect until the end of the holidays.
