Or, OR, just hear me out here: people could just follow the rules posted on the signs. š¤·š»āāļø
Sure, it sucks. But thereās no amount of time that is appropriate to park there if youāre not going in to 7/11. If you park there and donāt go into 7/11, why is that anybody elseās fault?

Honestly, and I swear Iām not trying to be reductive, because the rules are bullshit. Thereās no way ANYONE is legitimately inconvenienced by someone spending 15 extra minutes parked to grab a pickup order. No one is sitting here arguing you should be able to park your car there like itās a private lot for as long as you please, but itās just petty bullshit and money grabbing evil to tow someone for that short of a stop. Are you telling me you truly want everyone to pull out of 7-11, turn around, find parking again, to only be back out of the car for 10 minutes?
It may not seem a lot of money to you or some people, but being stranded without your car and having to scrape together 200 dollars to get it back is absolutely debilitating for some people, and to do it over something so absolutely trivial is nothing short of disgusting.

Try living behind a restaurant where people park in the fire lane, blocking the exit of your neighborhood, even though there are six open parking spaces in the back of the restaurant but they canāt be bothered to walk an extra 30 seconds for a ā15 minute pick upā. And then tell me thereās no way this can be an inconvenience to people

100% agree with you on that situation, but not comparable. Totally against people blocking transit ways, parking spot is not that.

Just because the rules are bullshit doesn't mean anyone has any justification in ignoring them. The rules and the consequences for breaking them are plainly stated.
The people parking there are knowingly gambling their transportation and money. These people trying to blame ANYONE else is what is disgusting.

So Iām assuming you never drive a single mph over the speed limit and always turn your signal on 400ft before you make your turn? Or can we agree that thereās absolutely discretion on rules/laws this trivial?

No, the difference is that I'm not gonna cry if I get caught.

Iām glad youāre in that comfortable of a position, same canāt be said for everyone.

A person doing their job is not petty. Parking somewhere you know you aren't supposed to for your sole convenience and then getting upset when consequences happen is petty and also the highest tier of self-entitlement.
