Cart Narcs parking only!

[–] djdarren@piefed.social 2 points 6 days ago

I see no evidence of lazy bones activity.

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:

  1. Logging Workers
  2. Fishing and Hunting Workers
  3. Roofers
  4. Aircraft Pilots and Flight Engineers
  5. Structural Iron and Steel Workers
  6. Delivery and Truck Drivers
  7. Refuse and Recyclable Material Collectors
  8. Underground Mining Machine Operators
  9. Construction Trade Workers
  10. 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.

[–] AniZaeger@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

I'm shocked firefighters aren't on that list, though I'm sure they're still higher up on that list than cops will ever be.

Damn, I don't want to be my handicapped.

"Our business has SO MUCH CRIME INSIDE that the police have special parking" is not a message that makes me want to come inside.

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 39 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's 99% shoplifting. But the police in my area don't use those parking spots anyway, they always park in the fire lane.

[–] RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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.

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 3 points 6 days ago

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.

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.

The Walton family is certainly one of humanity's greatest enemies.

[–] ToiletFlushShowerScream@piefed.world 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wealthiest family in the world funded entirely by underpaying it's workers.

[–] DandomRude@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] DandomRude@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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 will judge you if you don't return your shopping cart to the proper place. This seems to be a proper place.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 36 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't endorse not putting your cart back usually... But yeah, this is alright.

The cart return locations (pictured above) are back enough

[–] Widdershins@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] makeshift0546@lemmy.today 24 points 1 week ago

I love this and will contribute to it going forward.

[–] Wren@lemmy.today 17 points 1 week ago

Looks like people are doing the same thing to the handicapped spot behind it. The locals are chaotic and have no gods.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (13 children)

The people who went all-in a few years ago on shaming others for not returning their carts to the cart corral will have a problem with this.

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 61 points 1 week ago

No I won't.

[–] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 40 points 1 week ago (9 children)

Seriously though if you aren’t putting your cart in this specific spot or the corral, what is wrong with you? It’s not that much further to walk. Don’t make more work for the person who brings the carts back inside, it’s just inconsiderate. Plus those things have been known to pick up speed in the wind and smash into stuff. You might not give a shit about your own car, but some people do.

Just be considerate, life is better when we work together.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I've got sciatica in one of my legs. Not bad enough to justify a handicap spot (although those never have a cart coral near them), but bad enough that some days it is, actually, very painful to walk. Especially the walk back from the coral, where I don't have the cart to lean on.

In fact, I often appreciate when people don't put a cart away, and I can find a stray cart on the way to the store.

I still put the carts away when I'm done, and usually try to park near the cart coral as a result...with one exception: this fucking Dollar Tree near me, where their carts are all absolute shit to begin with and there's one cart coral and no parking spots anywhere near it. I park against an embankment under some trees where there is always space and shade.

Usually there's already a cart there waiting for me. When I'm done, I leave it pushed up against the embankment, back wheels on pavement, front wheels on grass, so it can't roll back into the lot, and right in between the parking spots so it is easy to retrieve by the next customer.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 week ago

as an avid despiser of assholes who don't return their carts and leave them right in the fucking way, I grant you a pass because of how you're doing it and what you do to avoid the situation in the first place

also the dollar tree sounds like it simply has a bad design and they should fix that

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 6 points 1 week ago

It's the reason anarchy can't work.

People aren't capable of self governance.

Nah. As far as I’m concerned that IS a cart corral.

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'd pull out my libertarian hat out and tell people that the market decided this is the most efficient location for the cart corral. Instructing customers to do otherwise is big government and communist.

/s

I bring out my more libertarian hat and tell people that you can't be easily sued over refusing to follow social contracts

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 21 points 1 week ago

This is another cart corral.

Cart Narcs know they'd be out of their jurisdiction there.

[–] MrShankles@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

It's just a new cart corral, no big deal
