[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 263687, member: 27"] I see this a lot here, as well. Typically some old guy (Mr. Karen) is sitting in the car while his wife Granny Karen "went in just to get one quick item" or some variation on that statement. First of all, if the parking lot is so full that you can't get a normal parking space, then logic will dictate that the store is packed---and Karen will be standing in a long line to get that "one quick item", and those in line ahead of her most likely have many more items and will take even longer to check out. I have seen such people sitting in their cars in the fire lane/near the curb/in the yellow-striped area when I entered the store....and they'll still be sitting there when I exit with my things. If I'm in a passive-aggressive mood I will walk past Mr. Karen and cheerily say to myself (loud enough for them to hear if the window is down) "Oh, I did not realize it was [I]Make Up Your Own Parking Space Day.[/I]" Won't deter them, but it makes me feel better.
