Fleecing the Public in Mobile

Normal parking price at events at the Mobile Convention Center like during this past weekend's big boat show is $5.

Boy how quick the price of parking goes up at the Mobile Convention Center during Mardi Gras. On this particular Saturday the price doubled.

The Mobile Convention Centers even triples the price of parking during Mardi Gras.

If Gas Stations are not allowed to fleece the public by doubling or tripling their Gas prices overnight to take advantage of some situation like a storm or a big event, why is the City of Mobile Convention facility allowed to get away with fleecing the public through price gouging? 

What the sorry ass City of Mobile is doing is comparable to walking into McDonalds during Mardi Gras to find all the food prices tripled. It would be like having to pay $6 per gallon of gas on Mardi Gras weekend even though a day earlier gas was only $2 a gallon. It would be like if the power went out on a hot weekend and stores jacked up the price on their ice by three times to take advantage of the demand.

Shame on the Mobile Convention Center for their Ugly price gouging during Mardi Gras! Someone should go to jail.
