I do not feel that this preferential treatment is appropriate. Having children is a choice, not an affliction. If we can walk ten steps to the store so can a child...more so in fact.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023018867778958193.post-57668819996910064202010-05-25T13:54:18.552-07:002010-05-25T13:54:18.552-07:00I've never been to a Fresh & Easy store wh...I've never been to a Fresh & Easy store where the parking lot didn't have dozens of spaces open, so it's not an issue to me. But maybe they should focus a little more on filling up the parking lots with customer cars and a little less on reserved parking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023018867778958193.post-74865048495746171242010-05-25T11:43:57.500-07:002010-05-25T11:43:57.500-07:00I think the additional spots are great and further...I think the additional spots are great and further show what a great store F&E is. I don't drive a hybrid and wouldn't park in a hybrid spot...but it shows that F&E values the environment, which is important to me also.<br /><br />Plus, the non-preferred spots are just a few steps away, and who couldn't use more exercise??<br /><br />I have used the "Parents with Kids" spot on a few occasions, and it is quite handy when trying to get my 4- and 2-year old children into the store.<br /><br />Obviously, if someone's going to be a jerk about it, they'll park in whichever spot they choose - but it's also up to them to live with themselves and their choices. I'd rather park a few spots away, get a few extra steps in, and enjoy my shopping in sunny California!Leahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023018867778958193.post-39116504824445545492010-05-21T15:52:07.414-07:002010-05-21T15:52:07.414-07:00Call me old school but preferred parking beyond th...Call me old school but preferred parking beyond the handicapped spots is just silly. It's a grocery store. Shouldn't all customers accept the handicapped be treated the same? I'm diabetic. Why can't I get my own reserved spot? Just making a point. Would not want one.<br /><br />Since I live in Bakersfield I can tell you we are far from the hybrid car capital of the U.S. Now, if Fresh & Easy wants to appeal to us locals it should replace the hybrid spots with pick up truck only spots. That would draw some customers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023018867778958193.post-69383723356046163722010-05-21T09:07:40.648-07:002010-05-21T09:07:40.648-07:00Yes, it's nice to give mom with kids or pregna...Yes, it's nice to give mom with kids or pregnant women closer spots. That said, my husband and I would pull into hybrid parking space. Any car deserve that spot should be a hydrogen car or a solar charging station for electric vehicle.<br /><br />Like we all know, it's a suggestion, not a law. <br /><br />I'd park wherever it is available and not marked handicapped, frankly.OakMonsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13642913606085031710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023018867778958193.post-88725180787770408892010-05-21T08:51:32.242-07:002010-05-21T08:51:32.242-07:00The preferred parking for hybrid cars is ridiculou...The preferred parking for hybrid cars is ridiculous. I am fine ceding spaces to people with physical challenges (having found being pregnant and carting around small children fairly physically challenging myself), but why am I being asked to cede a space to upper-middle class people who could afford to buy a hybrid vehicle and thereby save themselves hundreds of dollars in cash? Is there some delusion that a preferred parking spot at Fresh & Easy would motivate someone to buy a hybrid?!! They are expensive! I regularly park my Mazda 3 in the hybrid space as a protest. (Plus, there is never any one parking in those spots).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
