I posted the other day about Wal Mart over night parking and to day when I was there I noticed they have taken the no over night parking signs down and you will never guess what I saw over in the far corner. a small 15 ft TT very old TT, and out came two adults and three kids. a small chev S10 in front and two cars beside it, one without tires up on blocks. and big pieces of plywood around the TT I guess they serve as a skirt to keep out the cold. Most Red Neck TT I've ever seen. Looked like a migrant camp to me. Now this type of over night camping is going too far, I am going to see how long they stay. I'm curious now.

Might be better if you feel you have a need to know, you could see if there is something you might be able to do to help… of coarse for some maybe that is going to far…
Thanksgiving is coming and if they are truly down and out I think a prepared turkey or whole dinner can be bought for just a dollars from the deli section…

Your are right. But how do you know the difference.
I would rather error by unknowingly help someone who don't need assistance rather than to turn away someone who is truly needy.

I agree, rather than look down on these folks, perhaps investigate the situation with the store manager, and find out what the circumstances are before being so judgmental.
Like you said though, for some that is just too much trouble. They would much rather just assume they are lazy bums and post about it on an RV website.
