I will judge you if you don’t return your shopping cart to the proper place. This seems to be a proper place.
“Our business has SO MUCH CRIME INSIDE that the police have special parking” is not a message that makes me want to come inside.
It’s 99% shoplifting. But the police in my area don’t use those parking spots anyway, they always park in the fire lane.
Still, they’re having to call the police so frequently that this parking space made sense to someone. Maybe there’s something about their store that needs to change. If a strip club was having to call the police every single day, they’d probably shut the place down.
I’ve seen these parking spots at every Walmart I’ve been to recently in multiple states (I go camping a lot and they’re very useful if I need any food or supplies or if I need to replace a piece of gear). It seems like corporate just made a decision to put them at every location. I have yet to see police park anywhere except the fire lane though, I once saw fifteen cop cars parked in front of my local Walmart in the fire lane, it was just they were all buying Christmas gifts to donate I found out later.
Wal-Mart is kinda the Mecca of shoplifting; it’s turbo-corporate oligarch despotism so nobody feels guilty about shoplifting from them, they’re usually located central to low income areas, and everyone assumes they don’t have the budget to have a robust loss prevention department (they do; it’s one of the most robust I’ve ever seen).
the police is cheap and if you only inform them for felony levels of shoplifting (iirc a few hundred to a thousand) you don’t have to deal with the profit reducer for a few years.
Wal-Mart was a huge generator of calls for service in my patrol area, so much so that our county government had hash things out over multiple meetings and eventually write an MOU with them to stop calling us over $20 shoplifting cases.
I’m doing my part!
Looks like people are doing the same thing to the handicapped spot behind it. The locals are chaotic and have no gods.
I see no evidence of lazy bones activity.
I don’t endorse not putting your cart back usually… But yeah, this is alright.
The cart return locations (pictured above) are back enough
If you’re a police officer or military veteran and you need a special parking spot it’s because your handicapped.
Otherwise you can fucking walk like everyone else.
You’re not special. Special people aren’t regularly put in dangerous situations for relatively low pay.
Top 10 most dangerous jobs in the U.S. according to Forbes:
- Logging Workers
- Fishing and Hunting Workers
- Roofers
- Aircraft Pilots and Flight Engineers
- Structural Iron and Steel Workers
- Delivery and Truck Drivers
- Refuse and Recyclable Material Collectors
- Underground Mining Machine Operators
- Construction Trade Workers
- Electrical Power-line Installers and Repairers
I’m know I’m preaching to the choir here, but it’s good info to be familiar with when some knuckle dragging MAGA hat pretends to be patriotic.
Notice that law enforcement overseers and military are not on this list. Moreover, LEOs often get paid MUCH better than many of the people employed at some of the jobs listed above. It’s also a pretty safe bet these days that if an American police officer is in a dangerous situation, they are the danger. I’m all for respecting people that choose dangerous careers, but police and veterans are not heros for making that choice any more than any of the others on this list.
OSHA has a similar list, no police either.
USA Today has a top 25 list, still no police.
Damn, I don’t want to be my handicapped.
The point is parking close to rapidly respond to calls for service.
At least that’s my interpretation, anyway. I never considered people might want to park there off-duty just to shop.
We don’t have parking for the police in Canada. But we do have parking for pregnant women, and disabled people. Plus, the grocery store I use has a solution for the carts.
We kind of have parking for the pregunte here in statesia. It’s not a legal restriction so anyone can park there, but some lots “reserve” the spaces.
They’re very helpful when the handicap spots are full
There is reserved police parking at Fairview Mall in Toronto, Ontario .
I stand corrected, but rarely visit the GTA. I lived in a few different towns/cities, and I never saw them before. Are they only in Toronto?
The Walton family is certainly one of humanity’s greatest enemies.
Wealthiest family in the world funded entirely by underpaying it’s workers.
Absolutely, and they are undoubtedly one of the key players responsible for the global resurgence of fascism—for example, in the form of the current U.S. regime, but at the same time also in other countries, first and foremost Israel, but also in Europe, and in every remaining democracy. Their unlimited resources make this possible, and they want more and more.
As I said: These are humanity’s worst enemies.
Yup. Them and the Murdoch family. Cancers on our civilization and enemies to the inhabitants of Earth.
And clearly we can add the Trump family to the list as well.
Rupert Murdoch is so old that his fucking dad (not grandfather or great-grandfather) orchestrated a successful smear campaign against Australia’s best general during WWI, over a century ago. Reason: the general was Jewish.
You could actually list every billionaire in the world. It’s simply impossible to become that absurdly rich without getting involved in these schemes. They all know each other and would never allow anyone who was even remotely decent to rise to their level.
I used to counter this argument with Paul McCartney, but it turns out he’s been something of a cunt his whole life as well.
Yeah I don’t like breaking that one to people
I love this and will contribute to it going forward.
That sign does not look bolted down. 3 youths with a skateboard could recreate Iwo Jima and move it somewhere less convenient like at the bottom of a lake or wherever cops like to park and hide to print speeding tickets.
If I was a minimum wage worker and had to work 30 minutes more at night putting those shopping carts in their place, I would be annoyed until I get home but then be fine with it.
Im guessing you shouldn’t say police but instead say maintenance cart or something like that
