    There's some sense to that, a lot of stuff has excessive packaging, but when you buy the product, the packaging is part of what you bought.

    The entire point is once you purchase something at any retail business the garbage from it becomes your responsibility. And it becomes your personal responsibility to dispose of your garbage in a proper garbage receptacle somewhere, wether it be a can or a dumpster or even if it's the next place you can get to to properly dispose of it. A grocery cart is just that, it's a grocery cart not a trash receptacle. No offense intended.

    No offence taken but I don't agree. If I had a choice I wouldn't accept all the useless packaging. The people that got paid for the trash should take responsibility for it and not somebody else. It doesn't matter where you leave it it ends up in the same place and you will pay for it again.

    And you think the employee throwing it on the lot is OK ?

    But I will agree that putting it in a shopping cart was a little presumptuous.

    Ousted? They should have been up on charges. I'd call the cops and give them a huge fine at least. This kind of behavior needs to be stopped. Why do guys save 2 gallons of piss in their cab anyway? You can't pull on an off ramp, take a piss for a min and hammer down? Seriously? Time is that important? If it is you should have never taken the load.

    No the employee should definitely just put the trash in one of their trash cans or dumpster.

    Heres another one. Two Walmart employees from the Mt. Vernon, Illinois location are at the Pilot across the road ( not the flying j next door ) gathering up all the shopping carts that the ignorant, inconsiderate truck drivers have walked over here and left for them to come clean up. Looks like 8 or so shopping carts. Absolutely ridiculous. 20200202_105221.jpg

    Well they actually have low bars at 2 entrances but these drivers still dont get the message that they dont want trucks parking, they still do it anyway.... 3 truckstops are literally a rocks throw away why should walmart house them or offer parking? 20200202_125022.jpg
