If it was illegally parked a tow truck should have been called. No indication in the article it was. At least not until the driver parked it in front of a hydrant. It's not her job to make the drivers job easier.
Maybe the shop owner needs to stop being cheap and order trucks that fit....
I would agree but at the same time, thats the entire la and surrounding area. Backing in off the street to a dock with cars parked everywhere and traffic as well. I hate that place
