Our lift is on the side of the van, and I ALWAYS runs into problems with people parking in the striped area. One day I had both kids with me and someone parked next to me in the striped area and I would have had to back up to let the kids in which would have been dangerous. So, I decided to take a stand and I had the store page the person. Wouldn't you know it was my luck that the person was an elderly women with an oxygen tank. Boy, did I feel like a jerk! Elaine
