Today I visited a small shop with limited parking space - so I parked around the corner.
  1. The man in the queue in front of me was doing a large shop and was fairly switched on in arranging items at the till - he was in his 70s, I'd guess. BUT once the attendent had carefully packed all the frozen food items in the large strong carrier he had brought - he THEN brough out x4 flat ice-packs that he wanted to place in the carrier. So a number of items had to be unpacked. Further, the outdoor temperature was only 14 degrees and this was local shopping, so ice packs not needed.
  2. The woman who came in after me, (late 50s, early 60s) found there was no parking spot available so parked half on the pavement and half in the busy road - across a Yellow Line. She spent the time hopping back and forth to see if she was going to get a ticket.
I did wonder how those two would handle ANY kind of boarding system ...
