My lovely bride and I went on a Lowe's run this afternoon.
As I'm cruising the parking lot, I see an open space right up front--as in, first spot closest to the doors, across the row from the handicapped spots. Cool. Swing into it, and notice two things--purple lines, and a sign. Immediately parked somewhere else. Definitely not qualified to park there, and happy to let those who are use it.  Attached File |

Well now. In a sea of shit, it's nice to see something pleasant for a change. Good for Lowes.

Lowes also does a 10% discount for active duty military and veterans. I was unaware of this until a couple weeks ago.

I like it.
I hope they used a regular "Handicapped" space for it. There are way too may of those around here . . . and way, way too many healthy drivers with handicapped stickers who park close and hop out and walk easily into stores. |

As great as that is for them to do (two huge thumbs up!)
It won't be long until some land whale complains to the powers that be that she now has to scooter an extra 40 feet to the front door... |

That's awesome. The veteran parking at HD is occupied by able bodied vets most of the time. I admit I have used the spot as well.

Lowe's is great. They linked my military discount to my Lowe's card, now I can use the automated check our and it gives me the discount. No need to show my ID anymore.

The worst spots are the ones for pregnant women. Make them walk to keep that baby fat off. It's not as if you can't control whether you're pregnant or not.

Damn I hope my local lowes does that.
Other than the promotion points it'd be the only perk I ever got for my enemy marksmanship badge. Hell the PH plates for my Camaro even cost me more than regular plates. Edit: not that I demand any perks-but it would be cool. How about Combat Infantry parking spots? |

There are still disabled parking spots available as well 4. If they're intention was for non able bodied vets they would have/will change to purple heart parking like Lowe's |

It's cool.
However, anything done in large-corporation America is done with the bottom line in sight. I doubt this would happen in Berkley. Playing to the local clientele. |

There's a local burgers & beer joint that has one of those signs. Brought a smile to my face the first time I noticed it.

I know if I ever parked there just as I got out of my car a WW2 vet would walk by having parked at the back of the lot. I appreciate the veteran spots but the Purple Heart spots make more sense to me. |
