Not so fresh at Fresh and Easy

Dropped by the neighborhood Fresh and Easy tonight to grab a few things to make mango lassi. As I walked out, I was disturbed by not-so-usual symbols painted into the prime parking spaces near the store front: mommy with kids and "hybrid only" symbols. Since when did driving a hybrid garner prime parking spaces? If one is really concerned about "living green," it shouldn't matter where one parks since one's primary mode of transportation shouldn't involve using gas at all, right? Isn't it better to pick the first parking spot available once you enter the lot and just walk to the front door? What's the big deal?
