Supermarket parking - really?

Might be able to one-up that; I know it looks like this VW is turning..

but hand on heart; that's parked! - this photo having been taken by a friend who couldn't believe they'd just seen the driver having exited the vehicle to go collect their child
I can - I'm sick to death of F*****g 'School Mums' thinking the rules of the road don't apply when they are delivering and collecting their brats.
 
What helps (although it'll never happen wider scale for various reasons e.g. greed) is to have wider parking spaces. We have a small local co-op store and even though it has limited parking spaces, each and every one of them is probably 2ish foot wider than the spaces found in supermarket/retail park carparks. Makes it so much easier for folk to come and go and park a reasonable distance from the car beside them. The developers could easily have created a few more spaces if they'd made them narrower, so hats off to them for doing what they did.

A Waitrose not far from me has the opposite - the smallest spaces I've seen in a car park. It's fun watching the mummys try to shoe horn their Chelsea tractors into spaces designed for Minis. Always scrapes happening in there.
