Carbrain culture is sitting in your car for 20 minutes instead of getting out and just walking into the restaurant. (lemmy.world)

I hate how much time people waste doing this. Depending on the store, I either park a couple spots from the cart return stations, or enter the back of the lot and park first available. Whatever your goal, wasting time trying to find a spot that meets specific constraints just…. Wastes your time

At my Costco especially

people fight for garage space but there’s a really long ramp for your cart so it’s effectively much farther
people fight for the lot by the door, but it small and crowded and choked with both pedestrian and car traffic. I can be parked and in the store before you make one lap
main parking is long and skinny, but people only go straight up the main aisles. I just go one aisle over and there are more spots closer in and right by cart return
