My dad can walk the five extra spaces.....and he can just about walk through the store. But, he has to rest after just a couple of minutes walk. He takes about an hour to do a relatively small amount of shopping because of the need for frequent rests. Frankly, I want him parked right outside the store. It's not immediately obvious what the nature of someone's disability is. Some days Dad is more able than other days; some days he starts out okay but gets halfway through a task and becomes so short of breath it's terrifying. I have no doubt there are times that people see him get out of his van and head into the store and think hey....he seems fine. What they don't see is him propped up against a shelf 'resting' and trying to catch his breath again a few moments later.
