    As much as I hate Walmart for all the ######## they pull, and all the garbage that they do to get one over on people and how I'm treated at their DC facilities, I'm still grateful for the opportunities they have given me to be able to park and shop at their stores. Plus where else are you going to get a prescription 2500 miles from home?? I have spent the night in a few Walmart lots, and with a 24 hour rest room and usually located with other services, it's really hard to not get angry at the idiots who constantly treat the PRIVILEGE of being able to stop there like its no big deal. It is a big deal. At this point there are more NO TRUCKS signage at shopping centers than there are trucks. Whether you hate them or not, Walmart provides you with a service that they don't have to. Treat it with respect.

    Why toss a perfectly good gallon pee bottle before filling it up?

    I worked teams with a scum bag who relieved himself in broad daylight in the middle of a Target parking lot. When I said "I cant believe you just did that" he actually said "did what?"

    In some states, that's actually a criminal offense. I'm just not so sure I want to get photographic evidence. Eeeew.

    But seriously, at home I park (and apparently everyone and their brother) on the dead end side street next to the WM. One day a piece of paper blew right to me. It was a manifest from one of the delivery trucks. Oops. So I walked it in to the night manager. Kinda caught him off guard that a truck driver would go out of his way, especially at night.

    If Wal-Mart allows trucks to park there then they take up 10-20 Parking spots, 10-20 Customers who can't park therefore they can't shop there

    This girl I was talking to online was trying to tell me that EVERY Wal-Mart allows truck parking, I tried to tell her she was wrong but she just blocked me


    Her source: she dated a truck driver once
