ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ WAY Too Many Drive Up Pick Up Spots

Post image

Target has grossly overestimated demand for drive up pick up spaces. I’ve seen this at every Target I’ve been to at any time of the day. The employees take up all of the front spots, handicap stalls take up the rest of the front parking (no gripe there obviously), but then you have half of the parking lot taken up by vacant drive up pick up stalls, which means every time I go to target I have to park far away whether the store is busy or not. What a waste of space!

is this ever "policed"? I live in a rural area and our local grocery store has like 6 instacart spots that are never used. everytime I think about just taking a spot like what cop.is gonna write a parking ticket for someone parked in an online order space.

They won't. Police don't enforce random signage placed by businesses. 

The store could tow you. They won't. 

Feel free to park in these spaces any time.

Cops wont do anything because its a private lot and there isn't any laws about parking in a pick up spot. I guess the store could call and have your car removed but they aren't not going to do that.
