56. Same here, can't breathe, and the so called handicapped slots are often

farther away than some of the regular parking places. Stores seem to like grouping the handicap parking places in one bunch, makes no sense when there might be spots much closer, and its such a simple fix that would keep me coming back. Like you, I am finding myself using Amazon more often because the shopping centers aren't very accommodating to people with disabilities.
