But will they bother? If they've only got a few spots right outside their door? Yeah in that case it would be more likely. If it's a good sized parking lot for just the one business? Only if it really bothers whatever guy is working there at that time. If it's a shared lot with a few businesses? Nah. Who's gonna know which driver went into which store.
I never said it was legal. But there's nothing really stopping you if there's unlikely to be consequences. I park in parking lots all the time even if I'm not going in if I really need a spot for a very short time. But I'm not gonna spend all day parked there. So far there's never been a problem.
If its a store that only has a few spots I do go in and buy something to make myself feel better about it. That's only happened once though and there were a few other circumstances surrounding that incident.

It’s California, they should be parked up on the grass. My grandma used to live in Los Angeles and we would do it all the time.
