Golf Cart Parking
 
At LSL this morning and once again a golf cart pulls in the last spot even though there is a spot next to another golf cart in the next spot.
Total lack of consideration.

Possibly, but just as likely to be ignorance of the protocol.

I see this all the time and it's frustrating.

I hope it was due to the fact that they are new and no one has explained it to them. I did it the first time I parked at LSL. When I returned to my cart, I happened to look around, and, my mistake was obvious. Never did that again!!

Maybe it's one of those clowns that park diagonally across 2 spots at the shopping centers so no one gets too near their 1988 corolla

Would you please explain this protocol to me? I don't normally go to LSL by cart, so I'm missing something. Thanks in advance.

Hey, they are just trying to protect the finish on a wannabe vintage auto.

All of the "golf cart only" spots at Aldi were blocked by just three cars yesterday. Plenty of car spaces available, but they were further from the entrance. And one of the "disabled" car slots had a delivery vehicle in it.

This happens often and always amazes me how people are
so unaware of others around them.

It's like the space in between the golf cart parking spaces at Lowes on 441. Yesterday a tall large truck parked in it preventing the golf carts from getting out of their spaces. The signage must not be large enough but I can read it from the cracker barrel. Plain inconsideration since the lot was also half full.

Those spaces are crazy anyway - painted as if you can get ten carts in, although if anyone parked in the back row they'd block in those by the curb :-)

Why? They just created 3 more spots for other carts. It depends on your perspective.

Oh. You mean those spots across from the outdoor center section of Lowes. I was refering to the 6 spots between the handicap spaces in the center of the lot. They should definately re align those so ten carts should park there.

The fact that this post has somehow gone to Lowes is why I don't watch much anymore.
Here are 2 reasons for parking there other then being ignorance of the protocol, Maybe it's one of those clowns, unaware of others around them, Plain inconsideration.

1) Safer to park in a wider place. 2) I often do this to leave more space for other golf carts.
5 golf carts instead of 1 car.




cars. 5 golf carts instead of 1 car.

Isn't that kinda like saving seats at the squares? Why do you feel you have the right to deny a car a place to park?
