I know I can’t speak for everyone, but I hate 3 hour + movies.
I really have a thing against movies that go longer than 180 minutes and thank Christ I am not the only one. The management of the Macquarie Centre at North Ryde obviously agree with my overlongism. Why else would they bring in parking fines for exceeding 3 hours in their shopping centre with no paid parking options…I mean obviously shoppers will not find enough to keep them occupied that long there, so it must be aimed at losers watching overly long movies! And hooray for their pesky staff being banned from parking at the centre, that’s sure to boost business! I wonder if this includes Macquarie Centre management? Surely if this is so they must spend more than 3 hours parked there everyday too…
New car park crusaders are not the only exciting new happenings at this oasis in the middle of Sydney’s new Silicon Valley, no way!
Every week there is an exciting new shop closure to keep the customers guessing – can you guess what will take over from the Good Vibrations surf store that has been there since the mid-90’s? If it’s as good as the ‘Aussie Sox’ store that replaced the long-running imported lollies shop, then centre-goers are in for a real treat!
Or if that doesn’t excite you, there are many other fun ways to enhance your Macquarie Centre experience. Try your car’s luck on one of the many thin but bulky black and yellow speed humps that adorn the centre’s car parks, get shouted at by the guy in the chief’s hat who works at Beard Papa Sweets, witness the amazing sounds of the Borders security buzzer that goes off on every second customer, find out all about how great Fitness First gyms are from the permanent(ly annoying) FF stand that fills one of the walkways, or if you feel like a bite to eat, witness the incredible efficiency of the food court cleaning staff as they clean the table you are eating from.
It’s no wonder the Centre Management have increased the rents for shop owners here, this shopping utopia is really going places!
