This space is reserved

I have seen the photo from the march at the banquet.
Now all that's needed is access and permission to use [it is how the guy makes his living after-all].

So I have another issue I will discuss, also having a remote resemblance to reserving space.

I used to complain constantly about Costco in Redding.
Well, not so much about Costco as about the customers and the situation in the parking lot.

I must now say the folks at Redding have it pretty darn good.

Everyone here wants to park at the front door and leave their shopping cart [buggy, trolley, whatever] wherever they empty it.
Seriously, folks will sit in their cars with the engine running while waiting for a space to open.
I doesn't seem to matter to them if anyone else wants to get around them.
I had to move  a cart yesterday to get into a space and then I had to move two to get out when I was finished shopping.

Inside the store is just as frustrating.
The store is much bigger than in Redding and there are larger aisles with a greater merchandise selection.
But folks here seem to have taken on the challenge of blocking aisles just like up north.
(The word oblivious comes to mind)

The capper was when I was walking out of the store with my purchases.
There were a lot of people exiting so there were two folks at the door checking items.
As I moved into the line, the clown behind me ran his cart right into my back.
Then, when I turned around, acted like I was at fault because I didn't run over the lady in front of me.
