Huh? Strange. One mall has reserved signs for the businesses next to the gym because the gym members would drive into the gym if they could. That meant if you wanted to go to the sub shop, you had to park about 300 yards away and walk to it. I probably got more exercise than the gym people and it didn’t cost anything.
This makes no sense. Handicap spaces are nearest the entrance so the users don’t have too far to walk. Also, non-handicapped people.. which the lady depicted presumably is… are prohibited from using them.
Some internal logic problems here. “Handicapped” parking spots are by definition closer to stores than other parking spots. Also, they legally require a handicapped placard. permit or license plate to park there, which any person of good conscience would comply with.
I agree with all the comments on how inappropriate (and illegal) it is to park in spaces where you don’t belong, and with those who pointed out that spaces for the handicapped would be closest to the stores. But has anyone noticed her description in panel 3 — “for people who are paralyzed by environmental guilt” — as well as the HDCP sign in panel 1? That’s a green symbol if ever I saw one, not the usual blue symbol representing a person in a wheelchair. I think this is a joke on a different kind of handicapped parking.
Took me a while, but I think the idea is that only at Natural Foods are the handicap spaces far away. That’s why it isn’t a traditional handicap sign, but rather a “green” handicap sign.

Do you see them? No I didn’t bring any. I guess we can only buy what we can carry in our hands.

Anywhere that I shop the handicap spaces are the closest ones. Although we don’t have environmental guilt spaces.

Handicap spaces are the closest in Ohio. And if you don’t have a handicap parking permit it’s a $250 fine.
