Abuse of Walmart

I can't believe there are people like this that video themselves abusing WalMart's generosity.



Thoughts?

Obviously rocks have more sense than some people.

I have no problem with WHAT he did so long as WHERE is appropriate ~ and this wasn't! Notice the cars driving past? I agree, an abuse of generosity.

What if 20 people a day did this? Holy cow! Would that be gross, or what?! It's hard to believe ANYBODY would think that is OK!

Haha, just because you buy the supplies at Wal-Mart ... I don't believe that is their invitation to USE it in their parking-lot. Pity the poor families driving past with kids in their cars!

Sadly, it's abuse like this - and then blatantly bragging about it and instructing others how to do it - that will eventually lead to WalMart banning all RVs from overnight stays in all their stores.

Some already do - they have bars above the entrances so a trailer can't enter. And it's probably because of this kind of abuse. That said, I'm sure some cities have ordinances against RVs staying overnight in parking lots - but it's because of stuff like this.

That guy is just ruining it for everyone else. I noticed he has a linex spray coating over the top of his vehicle. What's up with that?

That guy has tons of videos on YouTube. He was in an RV last I saw. His videos are like watching a train wreck. You know it's going to be gruesome, but you just can't stop watching. I watched his videos for a few hours one day. He is some kind of software debugger and works from the road - he tells people what he makes per software fix, and I think it averaged $100 per problem. I remember him saying it was really hard for him to get jobs and would go weeks without a paycheck sometimes. I wonder if this video is from before the motor-home or after.

I am not condoning what he is doing, but there are far worse things done there and farther worse people shopping there. I know you have all seen the videos or experienced that yourself.

As far as line-x, that is a growing trend in car/truck customization - pretty cool things going on with it and it is nearly indestructible. My guess is that is not why he has it up there, and I doubt his didn't come from a can.

It was just posted today. He sold his Tioga to an elderly couple, then bragged about it braking down and abandoned on the side of the road soon thereafter.

THIS is exactly the guy (and those like him) that are going to ruin the Walmart privilege for the rest of us. But no, others admonished me for saying so and said I was foolish for saying so.

It's only a matter of time folks. The end of using Walmart parking lots for overnight stays will end because of crap like this.

He's not from Wisconsin. He's from Washington...let's make that perfectly clear to start.

If I saw someone doing that in a campground, I'd say pretty ingenious. If I saw someone doing that in a public parking lot, I'd say pretty disgusting.

I'm not sure if it's incredibly arrogant or just stupid. One of those people that has no thought or concern for others. Good grief, go to a State or County park campground for a few bucks a night, and shower there. He obviously HAS money, because he's buying all of that crap!

Not in Walmart parking lots.

And it wasn't that funny.
