I have this theory about parking spaces at Meijers (grocery chain); namely, that the closest spaces to the door will fill up first. No duh! The postulet to that is that the closest spaces to the door will empty out first. Now this has some meaning.
\nLet me explain.<\/p>\n
While the amount of time spent shopping will vary from person to person as will as the departure time, there is an industry average as to the amount of time a shopper will spend in the store.<\/p>\n
As the first shoppers get the close parking spots, subsequent shoppers arrive and park further and further from the store. But, eventually, the average shop time for the first arrivals is met and they leave the store and their close parking space. Of course, some of the later arrivals may leave earlier than the average shop time predicts. Thus the trick is to asses the fill pattern of the parking lot.<\/p>\n
With Meijers, their parking rows are perpendicular to the door and the driveway is between the door and the parking lot. By assessing the parking row second closest to the door, you can determine the likelyhood that there will be a parking spot in the row closest to the door. If there is an open parking spot in the first 10 spaces in the second row, there will not be an opening in the first 15 parking spots in the first row. Likewise, if there is not an openning in the first 10 spaces of the second row, there will be an openning in the first 15 spaces of the first row. Quantum Mechanics!!<\/p>\n
