Default wallmart

Let me preface this by saying I hate wallmart and I only go there for one item ( Mobile 1 synthetic oil for the S)(22.89)

So i go to buy 2 five quart jugs of oil today ( This saves me from having to make a walmart trip every fourth oil change as well as making sure i have enough for the car)

anyways on my way out i spotted this:





Yes that is a huge truck parked diagonally through 2 handicap parking spots. I didnt see a handicapt plate on the truck either. But the drive surely was Handicap!

Strange, that is exactly how the Wal-Mart parking spots are laid out at my store for handicap parkiing. I know because I thought the same thing until I noticed the car running perpendicular to all the other spaces was indeed parking as it should. I have no idea why they lay out the stripes this way though...

you should have gotten that shot from the rear and just emailed it to the local cops.

The spaces are "Handicap" not "Handi." Very bad form.

The walmart in Fall River is set up for parking sideways like that too. I don;t know why though. The guy may have also had one of the handicapped placards that sits on the dash. they were hard to see and are being phased out in favor of the ones that hang from the mirror or the full blown handicapped license plate.

The taking of handicapped spots for no reason is a pet peave of mine. I have seen old men not be able to park close because of these folks. I hit them hard every chance I get when working.

I couldnt agree more. too bad i dont have the ability to do anything. my buddy has a placard because he wears a brace on one of his legs and he doesnt even like to park in those spots.
