Does anyone care about fire lanes anymore?

I just left our local grocery store and there were 3 SUVs parked in the fire lane.

God forbid that there is a fire or an emergency and someone can't get their chips out of the store in time!!!

Yup, I've worked corporate security with huge parking lots and people just don't give a damn. Hell, we had human resource directors who would "allow" people to park in handicap spots and get pissed when the police came by and ticketed them.

fires or public safety?

But seriously, any moron that uses the fire lane as their personal parking lot deserves a $500 fine.

I cannot even make a left hand turn in the parking lot because someone is parked there with their hazard lights on...don't know what they're doing in the store....ATM, paying their electric bill, buying a lemon, who the heck knows.....enforce the damn rules people
