    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.

      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.

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

      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.

      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.

        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.

        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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I always park in the “Online Pickup” or “Coffee Customer” or “Uber Eats” spots.

    Fuck you. I’m spending money at your store.

    I remember one parking lot had a parking lot Nazi. When I parked in one of the Uber Eats spots he came up and said "I don’t see any sticker indicating you work for one of the pickup apps. I said I didn’t. He said I had to move. I said “Let’s see if you can get a tow truck here before I get back out and leave” and walked inside. Got in and out quick and left. No tow truck in sight.

    Edit: Lot of corpo-cucks in here who want to spend time circling a parking lot waiting for a spot to open up so they can go in and spend money while 5 spots labeled “Uber Eats Parking Only” sit unused. Slurp that corpo-cock.

        Is everything that bothers you LARPing?

        Is it that hard to wrap your smooth brain around a pretty believable scenario? I’m sure a lot of people have done what I did to parking Nazis. You just don’t go outside, so you wouldn’t know.

        Not that I give a fuck whether some kid living in their parent’s house believes me, but it definitely happened. Maybe you’re just such a subservient pussy who can’t fathom standing up to someone.

          Lol. Lmao, even. The hero is needlessly aggressive to a person upholding the social contract. The clapping is coming from inside your head and under your desk.

            I’m not the dipshit accusing people of making up a totally normal story because I have some free time between my mother giving me a bath and making me dinner.

            The only thing you’re upholding is a lower national average IQ. And the only thing making noise under my desk is your mother.
