In past strips, we have seen closed stores in the mall. This would indicate that overall foot traffic in the mall is decreasing. Which also would mean that the parking lot would not be full.
This is when you take the time to make sure your purchases are secured properly with the cargo net, return the cart to a cart corral (which you should be doing anyway!), take your time to get in your car and let your engine reach proper operating temperature (when it drops from high-idle, it’s warm enough, and only takes a few minutes anyway), and then wait for them to back the F— up so you can reverse out of your spot. By then, they should be bored of waiting for your spot and picked one of the many other spots that will have opened up by then.
Why would you do this deliberately? What difference does it make to YOU who takes the parking space you no longer need? People who act like what you’re talking about deserve to have that happen to THEM in a very full parking lot when you’re in a big hurry.
I this happen to me a few times when I visited the mall during my college days. I’d be walking through the lot, and some car would slowly follow me, and keep following me all the way to the edge of the parking lot, and give me a bad look when I kept walking, because I didn’t own a car at the time and had walked there.

sometimes strips take place in another store/mall, even if this is rare. Nothing says it’s the same mall here.
I think you misunderstand what people will do to avoid walking twenty feet.

Or, you know, you could realize that they are simply looking for a space in a full lot and not do that.

AH, such a wonderful excuse to just wander around the parking lot .
