When I go to the store, I always park in a spot right next to the carriage return for several reasons. First, it’s highly unlikely that someone will leave a carriage near my car , as the carriage return is right there.

If it doesn’t work well, I grab a new one inside.

It was so simple, and I can easily carry the pill bottle in my purse. -- L.S.
