    What can Wal-Mart do when the city passes a no commercial parking inside city limits law and fines the property owner?

    Ya. Wally world went to crap when the ol' man passed. The kids shipped it all to china. To make a buck.

    Because it costs money to have someone continually clean the lot because there will be garbage bags and bags of poop and pee bottles all over the place.

    The slobs and disrespectful idiots that are out here these days ruined that. The owed/entitled and "I don't care it's not mine" is the way of so many these days. It's not only truck drivers.

    I always thought the proper name was spelled China-mart, but if you want to be PC thats fine.

    It’s not just trash. In fact I will argue that’s only a minor part of the problem. The bigger problem is 3 trucks at 16:00, attracts 20 trucks by 23:00 who park all stupid everywhere in the main lot and won’t move until 10:00 am the next morning. It looks like and is a complete fuster cluck to navigate through for citizens the next morning, when things start to get busy at the store

    Trucks are attracted to other trucks like moths to a flame. Monkey see, monkey do.

    Correct. And the reason that they're not welcome to park is because of the many that leave their bags of trash, poop and piss bottles next to their truck or under their trailer and then drive off. Or stand on the step and piss right on the parking lot.

    No facilities, so within a week there will be so much trash and human excrement covering the site that trucks won't be able to get in and out. That's why.

    I buy enough groceries for 2weeks. That’s how long I stay out. This is the reason I don’t use WM on the road. The best thing to do is. Track down WM manager or the security company, to let them know your a shopper.

    A: They sell what people buy. Same reason 99% of Amazon and Ebay stuff is from China.
    B. Wal.art has always made a concerted effort to source what will sell from here. And has redoubled their efforts in the last few years. They host a yearly open call for American manufacturers to pitch their products.

    Sadly when these more expensive products are placed next to cheap imports on the shelf everyone grabs the lower price.


    Tell me do you fuel at the higher or lower pump. When buying tires do you look for the highest price?

    Easy to blame companies because they are evil, corporate enemies easily vilified. But you should look around you. Stores are in the business of selling stuff. They stock their shelves with what sells.
