Many online retailers offer free shopping on purchases greater than $20 (or more, depending on the retailer).As long as the TTC is cheaper than the shipping costs, I'll walk around the mall instead.

Wow. I prefer to shop with my keyboard than stay in such long lines everywhere. Why bother with parking or even taking the subway on such a crazy day. Same deals can be had online without all the fuss.
I prefer to shop in person but on these days we have computers for more than urbantoronto. What really boggles my mind is people waiting in line outside of apple when there are no sales.
Yorkdale should start charging for parking to discourage the insane jam that occurs in their lots.
So they now want to keep customers away? There's a reason they have such massive lots.
Underground electronic parking is complimentary up to 5 hours. After the initial 5 hours, the cost is $6 every 20 minutes, to a maximum of $35.00.

When you have completed your shopping experience here at Yorkdale, please call our Valet service 5 to 10 minutes prior, in order to have your vehicle waiting for you when you arrive at the designated area.
I think all the parking is open nowAfter the Yorkdale garage opens in early 2017, there will be a commuter parking spaces available before the stores open. You'll have to pay to use though.
Parking prices with validated parking receipts on purchases over a certain amount may not be as ridiculous in 10 years
People window shop and or visit food court. Often I go for the food courtNot sure who's driving to Yorkdale to walk around and not buy anything.

In between work and home. Also the younger generation doesn't cook as much and I read an article once discussing the malls understanding that good food courts bring / keep people in malls but the mall knows people only have so much disposable income so it's a balance to keep people shopping. Quick Google search finds in 2010 7% of people went to malls just for food. I'm sure that number is up to 10%. If yorkdale freed up 10% of parking spots that would be a big deal.You drive to Yorkdale just to eat at the food court? I don't think too many people do that.
Surprise! There is pay for parking at Yorkdale already.
