I like walking and walk 2-3 miles per day, sometimes more. I have no
problem pulling into a parking lot and grabbing the first empty space
somewhere in the vicinity of where I want to go. I usually end up
getting into the store faster than the people who drive around looking
for a closer spot.

I have noticed that the spaces next to the cart collection tend to be
available. That saves having to push the cart a long way back. Not that
it is a problem to do the walking, but I am just not motivated at that
point. My priority is to get home and get things put away. The reason
they are usually available is because the cart stand usually extends
right to the edge of the parking space, so there is less room to open
the door. Since I usually shop on my own I only need space on one side.
