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".)
