Strange things happen at the grocery store

Tweet

This weekend I was standing outside the local grocery store, raising money for a charity event I am participating in this fall. I never really paid much attention to the things that happen in the parking lot, but it was really an eye-opener for me. First of all, we all see this and it's very frustrating. People who park in the handicapped spot without the proper sticker. This has always irked me and I've always commented "It must be mental" as I walk by. Then I noticed that quite a few people in the handicapped spot who did have the right sticker had no need to be there. Like they were driving their parents car, but their parents weren't with them. Then there are the people who park up in the loading area, get out, go in, do their shopping (usually a half hour thing) and come back out. Or, they drop off the shopper and sit in the car - in the loading area - while the person runs in (at least a 15 minute shopping spree). Most of the people who do drop off people or decide they are allowed to park in the loading area, park right in front of the ramp where people take their grocery carts to their car. These were just some of the things I noticed, there were plenty more. I never have paid attention before, but I'm going to be watching more as I do more fundraisers. What kind of behaviors have you noticed the parking lots?
