I work at a supermarket chain in the Midwest. There has been a van parked in our lot for literally years (I’ve been there two, coworkers said it’s been around for years prior). It belongs to a guy who lives out of it. He has his own car separate from the van that he uses for a pizza delivery job, he comes back to sleep in the lot. Never got a parking ticket, it’s so far out in the lot I’ve never seen anyone parked further away than him, so he’s not even taking up a spot. He came in sometimes and bought stuff, never stole a single thing (they followed him). No one ever gave a shit about it or bothered him for, again, YEARS.
On Monday we had a visit from the regional manager who asked about it. By the end of the day he had security call a tow truck. No trying to get in contact with him, no warning, no note on the windshield, just within one day they took this guy’s home and impounded it.
One of the shittiest things I’ve ever heard of and I don’t even know what to do about it. I don’t know the guy personally so I can’t help him but I feel like someone needs to pay for being so unnecessarily cruel.
