In the summer I prefer to park way out to prevent door dings, but in shitty weather or cold weather I turn into a total wussbitch. Even wussbitch me knows that if I park next to a cart corral, I get out faster. If there's an open spot right next to a car caral further back I'll nab it in a heartbeat over being closer to the store but having to walk back and forth to return the cart. At least if I park near the back I can just come running out of the store like a bat out of hell, haul ass down the parking lot (while complaining profusely ), dump my cart into my my trunk, stuff it in the cart coral, and whine in my car while I warm up faster.
