As the frosty air settles over Boise and holiday melodies fill the local Albertsons, the spirit of giving and gratitude takes center stage. However, even amidst the seasonal cheer, the rush of holiday shopping can test one's patience, especially when it comes to grocery shopping. Navigating through jam-packed aisles or making decisions from the endless cheese options can be maddening. That's precisely why the Albertson's Drive Up and Go service feels like a Christmas miracle. Place an online order and, like Santa on his sleigh, have your groceries delivered straight to your car by an Albertson's elf.

But lately, amid the twinkling lights, there has been some naughty—not nice—parking behavior. Those dedicated Drive Up and Go spots, meant for quick loading of groceries, are being hijacked by folks who think they're just going to take a second to get whatever they need.

Those prime parking spots aren't just about the proximity to the entrance. They ensure the hardworking store associates can keep the holiday magic alive, shuttling orders to customers waiting in their cars. Snatching these spots for convenience's sake isn't just Scrooge-like—it's stealing holiday magic.

No, you won't get a ticket for doing it, and you might not even land on Santa's naughty list. But it's about courtesy - putting others before yourself.

So, this holiday season, respect the signs at Albertson's or any store around town—whether they're for curbside customers, expecting mothers, veterans, or even the employee of the month.
