Walmart parking lots are the worst. I don't know what it is about them but I've seen more fender benders, sideswipes, keyings, and parking lot rage there than anywhere else.

I hate Walmart, but have to shop there because it's the only grocery store within reasonable distance of my house. Hopefully I won't live here much longer.

May I suggest looking into the WalMart+ program? It's like $15/mo and you get free delivery, including next-day grocery orders. If you're fortunate enough to be able to afford the Amex Platinum card, paying for the monthly sub fee is one of the benefits.

I think the Game Pass comes with a free 2 or 3 month trial, too.

Their website takes some getting use to, but of the various online grocery shopping websites, theirs is legitimately one of the better ones.

We also got sideswiped last weekend. Tried to file a police report and they didn’t seem eager to find out who did it. Just doing paperwork for insurance so that my rates can go up later

This happened to my 1965 ford thunderbird. A giant dent over the whole body panel. Previously pristine original panel. No note or anything. People are horrible.

I run a dash cam with the parking monitor. My neighbor runs a construction company and one of his workers hit my car when it was parked. I was able to tell him and his insurance covered it. With the monitoring on the dashcam, I highly recommend a shutoff harness if you notice the battery monitor drains your battery.

Had something like this happen when I was an actual employee at sam's club years ago. They couldn't find it on camera because the camera didn't cover the whole lot and was terrible quality...
