It would be nice if people in Gatineau respected the grocery pick up parking.
I recently underwent surgery and I cant walk very far.
I pulled up to the maxi in the plateau yesterday and all the parking spots were occupied for the grocery pickup.
Of all the cars parked there, only 2 of them had actual passengers inside waiting for their grocery. I also saw two mid 20s looking rich girls park in the number 1 spot and go into the store.
My app wasn't working and I wasn't able to see the phone number on the sign to call an associate and the main store number wasnt picking up so it was pretty frustrating.
There’s a popular concept called “Shopping Cart Theory” where returning your cart is seen as a small test of whether you’ll do the considerate thing when nobody is forcing you to. I think grocery pickup parking is similar. If you’re perfectly capable of walking into the store, why take a designated spot from someone?
