EP makes the entrance to the parking lot their own personal parking space

Pull up to the store this morning and there’s a massive SUV stopped in the entrance lane to the store’s parking lot. The entrance lane to the parking lot also happens to be right where the entry way to the store is. No hazards on but the car is still running with a woman sitting in the driver’s seat. So clearly they’ve sent someone (turned out to be their teenage daughter) into the store to “grab something quickly” and found it too inconvenient to pull into a parking spot. Which, by the way, it was early and only a few spots were occupied, so the nearest available parking spot was about 10 paces from where this woman “parked”.

Luckily it wasn’t too busy so I was able to go around them using the exit lane to enter the parking lot. I just don’t understand why this woman couldn’t be bothered to pull into a parking spot herself.

I see this frequently at other stores too where people will stop and wait in the no standing zone in front of a store while their passenger to do their shopping, rather than pull into a spot. I don’t understand - outside of a disability - why people are so averse to using the parking lot correctly.
