Nighttime at any walmart is like the central congregating point for all the local crazies. I don't know what the attraction is, but they just love hanging out there. Even my little walmart here in Cornfield Iowa is no different!
I was always nervous just doing a ten there, let alone leaving my truck unattended for days. That's just asking for trouble.

Some of them do. When I was new I parked my car at walmart while out and left my truck there on hometime and never had a problem. This walmart had 10 or more trucks there most days. One day they hung new signage all over the place and so I stopped leaving my truck there. A few months later there was 10 trucks there all the time again but I had found a better place to leave my truck.

Every time someone asks me about parking at Walmart, I tell them,” I have one word to say about it. Don’t.” Then I accidentally walked the wrong way towards the Walmart instead of my truck, but it worked out because I seen Jimmy Hoffa and shook hands with him, before getting my bearings straight and going to my Swift truck. Unfortunately I tripped going up the steps into the truck, but once I was in everyone could tell I was Cornpop the big dawg and it felt good. Until my uncle was eaten by canibals in the uhh well over hmm futterditz.

I never parked in a shopping area without asking management if I could park. I gave them a rough time frame I would be parked. There is a Sams/Walmart in Newport News Virginia that is next to I 64 and Jefferson Avenue. Trucks park long time there all the time, BUT they stay in a far away area out of the way of the customers. I posted an image of it below.
