The Jag is fuel-efficient...compared to a Suburban. Who determines what "fuel-efficient" is in this scenario? Best-Buy Nerd Guy?

Good point. I wonder how enforceable those signs are, i.e. what recourse does BB have if someone parks a 35 mpg Honda in the spot ahead of a 40 mpg Toyota Prius; smack-down of the righteous???

I would totally ignore that sign.

In case it wasn't evident, I parked there for comedic value. ...The guy on the Harley parked to the left of me appreciated the humor.

I prefer parking in spaces marked "For Expectant Mothers"...

I ignore those too. Only handicapped or fire zone signs mean anything to me. Not my problem someone decided to get pregnant or drive a hybrid. Though in AZ is customary for bikes to park on sidewalks under the awnings to stay out of the sun and free up more spaces for cagers.

I just wanted you guys to know that you are ALL very special, whether you have a sign or not.

Ha! Unless you're just buying a new cellphone battery. But then you would just buy that online. Which begs the Q; why should Best Buy even have parking lots? They just enable those evil consumers.

At the Home Depot by work, there used to be about 10 signs in front of the contractor entrance that read "Home Depot Customer Parking Only". Nobody ever parked there?!?!?! I always did, I guess because I can read English

I'll have to remember that the next time I buy want to buy something like a big screen TV or refrigerator or other large appliance that would fit well in the back of my fuel-innefficient pick up truck.
Instead of buying expensive appliances at best buy I'll have to go someplace where enviro-tards won't try to discriminate against my driving a truck to pick up merchandise. |

Parking signs that say "parking for x only" are totally un-enforceable.
Same as if you have a fender bender in a private parking lot, the cops can't (won't) do anything about it. They are trying to play on your sympathy for 'x' The only signs that can be enforced are handicap parking signs
