“Compact” Doesn’t Mean SUV

"OK Dave," emails a Berry Picker, " this is a typical site at the Kroc Center.  It is hard sometimes even for real compact cars to get into their slots and open doors. The irony is the new parking lot is empty, whileI can count at least 3  non-compacts in this line if not 4. OK, so it is tough for a lady with a bunch of young children to be far from the door, but isn't this the place that most people are going there for exercise?? And one of the things they are always telling us for exercise is to walk?"

Question: Have you ever parked your SUV or van in a spot reserved for "compact cars"?
