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

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 cart return locations (pictured above) are back enough

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'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.

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.

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.

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