Over the last week, several different officers have told me it is permissible to sleep in the 24hour Wal-Mart parking lot for a few days at a time. Since I really wanted one undisturbed nights sleep, I decided to try Wal-Mart out. I first went in and bought some stuff because I figured it would help, after that I talk to the security guard driving around the Wal-Mart parking lot. The middle aged lady very unemotionally told me "absolutely not, but the Corviena Wal-Mart allows people to stay over night." So I traveled five miles to the Corviena Wal-Mart. I talked to the security guard there (also a middle aged, over weight lady) who told me "absolutely not" - but that I could sleep in the Toy's R Us parking lot to Wal-Mart. The more I think about this statement, the more it amuses me. I can just imagine all the creeper vans camping in front of a children's store. That said, I didn't even try Toys R Us. Instead I traveled back to Glendora and spent a restless night in the Sam's Club parking lot, where there were a couple of other campers.
My first reflection is how interesting it is that people were so quick to pass along a problem. Second is how little people communicate. Third is how socially unacceptable it is to sleep in a car. Fourth, that all the Wal-Mart security guards were over weight women who seem to generally hate life.
