I don’t know what it is about Trader Joe’s parking lots that makes people just lose their minds. It may be that they tend to be relatively small (unless the store is in a larger shopping center)—the lot in the original TJ, on Arroyo Parkway in Pasadena, had maybe 20 slots, and very limited on-street availability. Come the holidays it was not unusual to see people in BMWs and Benzes come to near-blows over a space.
The lot in The People’s Republic is larger than that, but
still—I’ve learned not to go there between about 1115 and 1330, and again
1630-1830 on weekdays; I stay away altogether on weekends. People in SUVs just
camp out in the limited driving lanes, waiting until someone comes out to load
their car and leave. The SUVs block everyone behind them for however long it
takes.

You can believe I submitted it to the “Park like an asshole”
Reddit sub.
