You can wait somewhere else and pick them up in front of the store or nearer than that parking spot. Someone with a disabled parking permit who intends to actually get out of the car and go in may have to park further away than they should have to because you are sitting in that spot when you could have waited somewhere near enough to see the store entrance and pick up the person you are waiting for. To me, it's the courteous thing to do.

My husband has dementia and Parkinson's. I leave him in the car while I do the shopping because I need to be quick to get back to him, and I have him close enough I can keep an eye on him. I went thru this with my mother years ago--she would either get out and walk away or bang on the window for passerbys to let her out if the door was locked, the would think she was in distress and try to jimmy the door.
It sucks being sick, it sucks having to watch out for dangers to one we love who isn't in their right mind anymore.
