Walmart building shaded parking spots for people too lazy to do their own shopping.

[Confessional]

^^ !!!

*building*?… Walshaft as well as other big box stores, along with high schools, office buildings, and public parking lots out here in west have had shade structures for years. They also tend to be covered in solar panels… goodness knows we need some safe and clean energy these days. <scorns PG&E!>

I know we don't go for memes much on here, but as Gen-X, I love this one:

I have zero problems with Gen Z. But as a Gen-Xer I'm constantly aware we are stuck between two very entitled generations (Boomers and Millennials) who thinks no one has ever had it as bad as they have.

Because of an incident in my youth, supermarkets give me crippling anxiety. I get very uncomfortable in them, and have even experienced full blown panic attacks. The less time I have to spend inside one, the better.

Why do you assume they're lazy?

This was, obviously, not in anyway directed at handicapped people or handicapped parking places. It was just me finding it darkly humorous that the Gen-X generation was considered the lazy one when Millennials are encouraged to not even have to do their own shopping. I'm always the first to admit my humor is a little off. So please don't take it too seriously. But don't even get me started that they are now building tiny Target stores just to cater to Millennials. Back in my day we didn't get special tiny Target stores. We had to shop at the same regular sized Target stores as everyone else did and like it!

To apparently entice Millennials Walmart is building shaded parking spots so people can sit there and have their shopping brought to them. I have to roll my eyes at stuff like this. Especially considering how the Boomers criticized Gen-X as being lazy. Stores didn't build us "special" shaded parking areas because we were too lazy to do our own shopping. It won't kill people to walk a few steps and buy their own junk.

Why do you assume they're lazy? Could be people with walking difficulties like my sister who either can't feel her legs at all, or else they swell up, turn beet red and feel like they're on fire. People often roll their eyes or make rude comments to her when she uses her handicap tag to park close to the door because she doesn't "look" handicapped.

I work at a grocery store and they stated a thing a couple years ago called curbside where you order your groceries online, you park at a designated spot, they bring groceries to your car and you pay there through credit or debit. It was small at first now more and more people are using it. the carts they use are big and awkward and I have seen people online complain about it when doing regular shopping that these are always in the way. I'm not a fan of it, have we gotten so use to having everything being convenient for us now we don't do our own grocery shopping?

[edit] To be totally clear. It's just a joke. Don't take it too seriously.
