Slitz, maybe it could have been stated slightly differently. My point of stating it as such is because it's an absurd thing. If I park there and am not pregnant what happens? Do I get a ticket? Does the rent-a-cop come over and hand me a little leaflet telling me I did something wrong? All those things cost extra, costs passed along to us the consumers.

as far as it being a marketing ploy, let's look at something along the lines of say, Home Depot, a family man comes to Home Depot with his kids, maybe they should have a Fathers with Children in Tow... But here's where you get into the roles which is always sticky. Why is it that it's a mother going to the market? Doesn't the father who has kids in tow, also have an inconvenience that could easily be helped by him parking closer?

As far as the disability card, it's not an easy decision. I used to have to walk with my disabled friend from the furthest of parking lots because people used the handicapped "for just a moment" or because "grandma has the card, so i can use it too"

I qualify for the card under ADA rules, I've not bothered to apply. I'd feel stupid.
