What everyone seems to be missing is that the reason for handicap parking is so they have room to put out the ramp for the wheelchair person. Now if the person driving the car is handicapped and the passenger in the store is not(get the hell out of that spot!) pick that person up in front of the store. But if the person in the store is in a wheelchair then stay in that spot so you have the room for your ramp(very difficult to load with a ramp in front of a store with all the traffic and pedestrian shoppers) i feel very fortunate to not have to use handicap parking and feel bad about the people that do, and I respect those few spots that are available to those people at stores. Here is a scenario for you: lets say you are sitting in the handicapped spot and someone needs wheelchair access(all the other spots are filled) that person has been denied!)
