So I’m assuming you never drive a single mph over the speed limit and always turn your signal on 400ft before you make your turn? Or can we agree that there’s absolutely discretion on rules/laws this trivial?

Honestly, and I swear I’m not trying to be reductive, because the rules are bullshit. There’s no way ANYONE is legitimately inconvenienced by someone spending 15 extra minutes parked to grab a pickup order. No one is sitting here arguing you should be able to park your car there like it’s a private lot for as long as you please, but it’s just petty bullshit and money grabbing evil to tow someone for that short of a stop. Are you telling me you truly want everyone to pull out of 7-11, turn around, find parking again, to only be back out of the car for 10 minutes?

It may not seem a lot of money to you or some people, but being stranded without your car and having to scrape together 200 dollars to get it back is absolutely debilitating for some people, and to do it over something so absolutely trivial is nothing short of disgusting.
