Like way back by the garden department at the local Wal-mart (it's closed this time of year). Also, if the lot has any slant to it at all, I'll park on the uphill side to keep any carts from rolling my way.
I haven't recieved any dings yet (knock on wood) but there have been a few times when I came back out to find my D had been surrounded by others who had the same idea while I was gone.
At least I get a bit of extra walking exercise getting up to the doors each time!
