If I shop in the shopping centre and buy something I get free parking, if I buy nothing I pay. Everyone has a train ticket so why can't they work it out

Are non rail users using rail car parks really that much of a problem at the moment?

The rules on shopping centre car parking vary from centre to centre, most of them seem to charge whether you buy anything or not.
