Lowes and Home Depot typically have four spots for veterans
OT: Shopping in the convenience store…while parked at the gas pumps

It wasn’t you. You can’t ‘claim’ a spot for someone.
Funny when someone tries to call you out on it. I usually don’t use the spots because I feel like it’s unnecessary pandering, but sometimes it’s useful. Harris Teeter grocery stores does this too. One time a guy asked me my branch and unit. And it was clear he wasn’t interested but wanted to see if I was a Vet. I told him and he shut up.
Another time I parked in the closest spot to the Safeway that wasn’t a handicapped spot. I was - no lie - wearing golf clothes and when I got out of the car an older man asked what my handicap was. For a second I thought he was asking about golf; then I realized he was trying to bust me for parking in a handicap spot. I told him it’s not a handicap spot and he came to inspect. He admitted he was wrong and walked away. I hate that crap.
I've never noticed a problem at Lowes. Maybe it's the way the parking lots are laid out.
But I want to repeat myself. I 100% support preferred parking for handicapped and disabled. It just seems more excessive at Home Depot.
three if they are handicapped.Is a pregnant veteran allowed to take two spots?

I read in golf magazine 100 years ago something I always laugh about. A guy watches a woman park in a handicap spot, she hops out super healthy so the guy asks her “what’s YOUR handicap?” to which she replies “12”
‘get it? 12. Haha
to this day when I see sketchy HCap parking I always wanna ask it.

It was more to document anything with my phone. For the police/insurance report.
My car at the time was 4 months old at the time. My feeling about it then is the same as any car.

Get gas at the new Buc ee's in Orlando. You shouldn't have to wait since they have 116 pumps.

If you were in golf clothes you should have said "9" or whatever your handicap is.
Ooops, just saw your post laKovosivy. Great minds think alike.

How many EV charging stations?
I don't see it in that article but I'm pretty sure it's in the 20-30 range.How many EV charging stations?
If you haven't been to one of these places you should see it. I know the one in NC off of has it's own exit off rt 95. It's a tourist attraction.

I believe there were 123 pumps at the new Buc-ee's in Sevierville, TN when we stopped last year. Still had to wait for Mr. I'm Parking at the Fuel Pump While I Do My Shopping.
Fresh grenade to this discussion: How about sitting at a fuel pump while the whole family shops inside? Then they emerge, have to store their stuff, get kids in car seats, have Mom clean up the Slushee kid #3 just spilled inside the car while Dad decides it's a good time to change the oil AND transmission fluid, etc., etc., etc.
Removing the tire valve core is the way to go. Sugar won't dissolve in gasoline, will likely settle to th bottom of the tank, never make it to the engine. Worst case is that it clogs the fuel filter or line, making driving as PITA. Better yet, carry something sharp like a heavy gauge scratch awl and puncture a sidewall. Not only does that make the car not driveable, but will necessitate replacement of that tire, and maybe more.
I once saw an eccentric(I recognized her from elsewhere)older woman WAXING her car at a gas pump!
Better than her waxing body parts, I guess, but it's amazing how tone-deaf many folks are.
If I do have to go inside the convenience store when getting gas, I go inside while the pump is running. Luckily virtually all pumps have the auto shut off.
I have VW Jetta TDI and what irks me is when people without diesel engines use the gas pumps that offer diesel.
No one has ever taken the pump out of your car and put it in theirs and just started filling?
Do you live in Mayberry?
And then there are the jackholes that don’t return shopping carts and leave them right up against your car, or better yet, within rolling distance to your car…….. we could go on and on

Known as "bum buggys" you have to love seeing them dumped all over town.
I refer to those that are used in the community as “mobile estates”!
Yeah, it’s an inconsiderate move. Just get your gas and move up to a parking spot.
I pump my gas and then pull into a parking spot before going inside to shop or use the rest room.
There should be a lawAnd then there are the jackholes that don’t return shopping carts and leave them right up against your car, or better yet, within rolling distance to your car…….. we could go on and on
More importantly, in which hellholes did/do you live where that is expected behavior? Are there frequent shootouts at your gas pumps, with all the blatant theft and concealed carry folks? Pilfering and Pew Pew at the Pump.
That’s the thing, people carry guns nowadays and you need to act with this in mind.
Another reason to be happy I’m deaf.
The bros don’t react warmly to this one so I get it onWhenever I hear that sh|t, I crank some Credence. That turns heads.
