He obviously tried everything to get him to stop the ticket but they just don't do that. Maybe if he offered the LEO a scoop of Fancy Nancy with a side of potato soup it may have worked. Great chicken salad by the way if you haven't tried it.
I kinda prefer the one with dill and cucumber. And there are SO many parking spaces in front of Chicken Salad Chick there's no reason why people can't just park. And if you're having someone else go in, drop them off, park where you can see them, and go back to pick them up when they come out of the store.

Anyone who parks in a no parking zone should be ticketed. Anyone who parks in a FIRE lane - that ticket should have a higher fine than just a generic no parking zone.

If there are signs that say "No Standing" - that means - even if you're IN the car, you can't be there. You can drop someone off, leave, and return to pick them up. That's it. That's all you're allowed to do in front of a "No Standing" sign.

It's horrible at Walmart, because the entire curb-side area is designated for golf cars to drive through in front of the store, but people park there to pick things up, get out of their cars, or use it as a loading zone - which it is not. If you're getting heavy furniture then park near the exit aisle in an actual parking space and have an employee bring the stuff to your car.
