You Park Like an A-hole!

My gripe is not as good as yours, but I'll say it again: why don't they have pregnant parking anymore? For instance, Tom Thumb used to have the "Stork Club" parking, now they have 15 minute parking for Starbucks customers. Directly in front of the store - closer than the handicapped spots.

There's a Starbucks inside the Tom Thumb, but (hilariously) there's another standalone Starbucks right out in front of the Tom Thumb, about fifty yards away. With it's very own Starbucks parking lot.

Anyway, my pregnant wife (third trimester and carrying a 1yo in her arms) either has to waddle across the parking lot, through traffic, or park "illegally" in the special Starbucks parking spots. Guess where she parks.

Oh, and also Tom Thumb doesn't have a changing table in their bathrooms. And this is the fancy (expensive) store.
