You Park Like an A-hole!

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.

I suspect because people who just found out that they were pregnant would be legally able to use them. A woman in her first trimester may not need the space as much as one in her third, granted, but it does not say for women in their third trimester only. And how do you prove it? Carry around a copy of your +HCG labs?
