At the Costco by me following a person to their car is the only way to get a spot... The parking lot legitimately fills completely, unless you're willing to park very far away where there aren't even cart returns...
So, it doesn't fill completely...
I see the guy said Texas after so probably, but where I live you would have to park outside the anti shipping cart theft wheel lock zone.
I don't think you get the scale of parking lots in Texas, or how far back you'd have to walk to return your cart at that point. I'm not even sure that part of the parking area isn't technically the next restaurant's lot instead.
All I read is that you don't want to walk.
Fair enough
Okay yeah, I'm a bit more awake now. I don't want to walk, and if you're packing up your car, I think it's fair for me to wait patiently for you to finish up to take your spot. You're already clearly intending to leave, and I don't mind if you take a minute to set up your GPS or whatever, it's not like I'm honking at you.
Yeah, not sure why you've been absolutely blasted by downvoters. How is someone silently waiting for another to vacate a spot they've indicated they will soon be leaving some harsh, aggressive gesture? Somehow, the silent, vague "pressure" that someone is also interested in something they've temporarily occupied is distressing. Public bathrooms must be hell for them.
Honestly, your point is way better than mine, and even you've received downvotes for it. Like, bathroom lines exist. Sucks if you have shy bladder, but that doesn't make the person behind you need to pee any less either.
Yeah, except you're standing in the doorway, literally the frame of the door, waiting for one specific toilet to become available because it suits your needs, in spite of the one next to it being available as well, and now everyone's gotta brush up against you to get in and out of the goddamn bathroom.
It's more like there's another toilet available at the other end of the terminal, and everything in this bathroom is occupied. Again, lines for bathrooms exist.
To be fair, your example would be more analogous to another grocery store. I will not be swayed from this pointless opinion!
That's sorta what I meant when I said the available parking is more like the next restaurant down the way's parking lot :(
Thanks though, your tone honestly made me smile and lightened the downvotes haha
Yeah, I'm not trying to be hostile, I just enjoy pointless argument. And no downvotes from me. I am a serial nonvoter, terrible for the site.
Just gonna say y'all legit got me to reconsider how I approach parking so far this week haha
Gosh, you have to WALK and even RETURN YOUR CART?
Oh, the humanity!
do you act like this in real life
And that's an issue with that Costco and that sucks, I've certainly been to places where there's just too much traffic that the lot cannot support it. My local grocery store just isn't like this. If you move down the aisle you'll find spots, just 100 feet more of a walk.
Not in California dude too many people not enough land.
Must be different in your part of California, where I'm at it isn't an issue at all... Almost always plenty of spaces if you're willing to walk an extra fifty feet and people will still camp for better spots in perfect weather. It's honestly maddening.
I'm in Jersey, so I think I know what you mean.
