    Then fill the prescription and move. Not an excuse. He could have called ahead and got the 'script filled, so he would only be there 15 minutes.... Again call ahead and see if he can even park for that long in a semi truck.
    Just because the rig fits, does not mean the driver has the right to park on someone else's land.

    yeah, and if the dog hadn't stopped to take a poop, he would have caught the rabbit. Typical sorry excuses.

    Apparently, Mr Opus, you do not understand the clear difference between a reason and an excuse. If there is no other parking, there is no other parking. That's not an excuse. It is a reason. If a driver needs to fill a prescription, that is not an excuse, it is a reason. Love's and Pilot do not have a pharmacist. Maybe an unlicensed pharmacist out back on the party row. But again, that is a reason, not an excuse. Call it what you will if it makes you feel all good and superior to the rest of us. But try to acknowledge the difference between reason and excuse before you attempt to chastise next time. Have a good day.

    To begin with, Mr Ed, there's nothing in the story that suggests that the driver was there to fill a prescription. You are therefore engaging in what is referred to as a "Causal Fallacy".
    One causal fallacy is the False Cause or non causa pro causa (“not the-cause for a cause”) fallacy, which is when you conclude about a cause without enough evidence to do so.

    And finally, aside from a bona fide emergency, there is never a "reason" nor "excuse" to park on private property.

    Walmart has to be about one of the WORST businesses in America.

    I avoid Walmart trash at all costs.

    WTF does that have to do with being the WORST businesses practices ?

    It does prove though that most Walmart generation Americans are lazy , ignorant and/or cheap fools that will sell out their country to China to save $2 on toothpaste.


    Walmart is a little glimpe of exactly what is wrong with the USA right now.

    Most of the toothpaste we sell is made here in America. In fact most equate brands are made right here in Tennessee.

    Their business practices have made them the number 1 retailer in the world. Not just America the entire world. Might have a clue on how to do that.
