Well, I can see you wouldn't be interested in the 'pregnant women'
parking spaces, being a guy an' all... ;-)

But seriously, I am fairly sure these stores don't just allocate parking
spaces for pregnant women and/or parents with children because they
are 'nice people'. IMO, they do it because it obviously benefits their
profits in some way.
