I have experienced many times parking and walking into a coffee store (multiple different chains), ordering, and walking out with my fresh coffee before even a single car has gotten theirs. Some people just seem utterly set on never leaving their glorified mobility scooters.
But look at any suburban shopping mall (e.g., in Maps satellite view): how much of the land is for the mall's actual retail space, and how much is for parking?
(Part of this is zoning mandated of course, but it's a bit chicken-egg with regards to car-centric design.)
