Parking - in the new day an age - Rant

[lman]

I guess you can't say the scooter drivers are the laziest. There are people that are so lazy that they can't even go into the store to pick their items. They park in the pick-up spaces. I guess they aren't concerned about the store getting rid of their oldest produce for their order. I always thought it was a good way for the store to get rid of their older merchandise.

When our entire family had COVID I was the least sick. So, I placed a pick up order with our local grocery store for the first time ever. Went shopping on line, loaded my cart, scheduled a pickup time, drove to the store, parked in the pickup spot, called the number on the sign, they came out, I popped the trunk from the driver seat, they loaded it into the trunk, closed it up, slapped the lid twice and yelled THANKS!

$5 charge. Well worth it.

When my back was so bad that I couldn’t walk I used the service. I mostly needed dog food, milk and cheese but stocked up on a few canned goods as well.

The other benefit of on-line grocery shopping is that you're less likely to impulse buy as you might when cruising the isles in person.

This isn’t about parking, yet is something I can never understand.
I was at a red light, the lane had just spit into two and I was in the left lane. After a couple of hundred yards and two lights the right lane ended. A car pulled up beside me and when the light changed he tore off to get in front. Just after the lanes merged be put on his left blinker, and I had to sit behind him until the oncoming traffic cleared and he made his turn.

He wasn’t wrong per se, just a different outlook on driving. If I know I’m going to be turning I will try to let people in front of me.

I've done that on occasion when I wasn't paying attention either because I was in an unfamiliar area or was daydreaming. Usually it's because there's a long line of people in the left lane as the right lane is coming to an end.

And at times like this I'm grateful for my old truck

Me too, and can still find time to complain about parking. First world problems are a b1tch.

At best, poor planning and solution, at worse.....

I've never seen veteran spaces.

Carry out only.

lowes has vet spaces. At least the one on the south side does. Not sure about the one up in Mishawaka. I think the Chipotle down south has one as well.

Thanks. I'll look out of curiosity next time I'm down there. Might have to make a run to Culver's for flavor of the day!
