^ Unfortunately I have no other choice since I only drive on weekends and have only one car.
But when I'm at those places that you avoid... I park far, far away from the front entrance. If there's an incline to the lot I park at the top of the grade so that the shopping karts aren't headed my way with an errant gust of wind. It's amazing how many people will do circles for five minutes just to avoid a five minute walk from their car. Whenver a lady passenger whinges about the walk I remind her that the average healthy and fit female needs to walk 7,000 steps a day.

10K steps is basically 5 miles. Those Fitbits and Polar Loop bracelets that track steps walked are great gift for a female who whinges about parking too far.
