Parking Habits

When you visit a mall, plaza, store, or other place of shopping with a very large parking lot, where do you tend to park? Are you as close as possible, about halfway to the end of the lot, or at the end of the lot?

A few weeks ago I tried something different than my usual habit; I parked at the absolute last spot in the plaza, far from anyone. I walked to the store, and then walked from store to store in the outdoor plaza. It felt nice to get a little walk in with my shopping duties, and as a bonus, I didn’t have to worry about anyone running a shopping cart into the side of the car.

I do tend to just go for first available, though. And underground parking is often overlooked when above-ground parking is available.
