I hate it when you go to the store to get something and there’s a bunch of empty spots near the front but just before you pull in you see the sign for online orders or curbside service. In the primo parking spot. Not only do you have to deal with the handicap spots, the expecting mothers, and now the curbside service.

I park in the curbside service spots all the time.  They're on the correct side for the exit I need to take.  If they looked really full, with only 1 or 2 available, I suppose I might find somewhere else to park.  But they're never full, they're rarely even half full.  I feel no guilt parking in them.

Same. And if you think critically about it, why do the spots need to be so close to the store?  The people don’t plan on getting out of their vehicle and going into the store. I suppose it saves the workers a little distance but I bet it comes out a wash since they probably have to carry items out to other cars a further distance away.

curbside service spots - a republican or democrat idea?

The Kroger we go to have probably 20 parking spaces alotted for something special, including 6-7 for EV charging.  My wife has a HDCP plackard, but I don't let her use it unless there really is no other option.  There can't be that many handicapped people at one time who can drive a car.  And then maybe 6 spots for curbside.

Two reaons I dislike Wally World, they have a zillion HDCP spaces mostly for fat people and the carts are spread all over creation.  The one nearest us closed and I decided it wasn't worth it for my monthly trip to another one to buy up some basic items.

I don't have any issues with Walmart, at least for things where I don't mind buying cheap Chinese-made junk.  We have one within about 5 miles and it's pretty easy in and out.

I hate it when you buy one thing with a company and they send you 3-4 spam emails per week for things you’d never even consider buying. Then, when you hit the unsubscribe button, it doesn’t work and you still get 3-4 emails per week. 

Do they not understand that I’m less likely to do business with them in the future if they just annoy the shit out of me ?  Do they really think I need 3-4 emails per week ?

My email has a pretty good function that sends spam to some area called "promotions".  It also will not ring if a number calls me I don't have recorded to accept calls from.

The problem is my promotions storage is filling up with all that crap and occasionally a real email will go there.

I dislike it when calling a doctor's office I have to go through some lengthy multiple menu system on my phone.

I scan and delete my spam every day so mine doesnt fill up
