If you do have to park in a car spot, park at the very back where they can see you before pulling in.
Had the same thing happen to me with the bee, stuck me right between the eyes. Face is a terrible place to have a sting.
Better a song bird, than a turkey, vulture or deer lol
At the grocery store, I park right up on the big, wide sidewalk outside the building...preferably near the bicycle rack. I have never been told by an employee not to park there, and I see them around outside all the time.
We used to be able to do that in the 60s when there were vey few motorcycles and the City of Ottawa was treated like a town. I have not seen a motorcycle or scooter parked that way now.
I find a quiet spot well away from the store. Because people are lazy and impatient they won't park in those areas. I do the same with my Impala because it fills a parking spot now that lines are painted for pedal cars.
