I think this makes sense also. To a previous point, I take 
access=customers to mean someone intending to visit the associated 
location, whether that's a store, a church, a doctor's office, ...

BTW, I've used access=customers for parking lots that aren't 
*explicitly* marked 'customers only', but where I would expect the 
proprietors would nevertheless be annoyed by people just using their 
lots that aren't going to the associated store (or church, or ...) at 
all. Should I not do that? Is there a clear rule for when to use 
access=customers vs. access=permissive?

(I would probably use access=permissive for e.g. a mall parking lot, 
where it's not strictly public, but where you wouldn't be expected to be 
visiting a particular building or organization such that it's much less 
clear whether or not you are a "customer".)
