I parked in the shade behind the Big 5 last Wednesday because I have a puppy that can't be in the hot sun. I show up around 9:30am and leave around 10:30-11:00am when the sun clocks over and the shade is gone. - so a total of less than 2 hours, mostly when the business isn't even open yet and definitely before it gets busy. The parking lot is never even close to being full before 11am. Actually, I have never seen this parking lot full. A young male manager knocked on my window and politely asked me to move because they had a delivery. I apologized and explained. He told me he didn't mind me being there, but I was in the way of the delivery truck. I moved immediately.
This is the first and only time anyone told me to move and he said I could be there on nondelivery days.
Today, Sunday - probably not a delivery day, I parked behind the building in the shade again, away from customer parking (there were only 2 cars in the parking lot). I had taken my puppy to get her parvo shot and she barfed all over me, the van and herself. While trying to clean up, a COP knocked on my window and said the management called saying I had been warned many times to move but I keep coming back and if I ever enter the property or store I will be ARRESTED and taken to JAIL... For parking in the shade.
Funny thing is, I'm a personal Trainer that spends lots of money in this store and I send all my clients to buy their ropes, bands, weights... Never again will I spend another DIME in this store because I will be sent to JAIL for parking in the shade. read more
