it's gone on for years since our local super walmart opened. walmart allows it. around here we get cars and vans, but also a lot of campers too. i talked with several people about it, and the concensus was always that walmart allows it.

after watching clerks 2 i had to look up the video for the talking heads -flowers song and this reminds me of a statistic they threw in. something like "number of times since 1979 that britain refined the way it counted unemployment, 25." and then after a pause, "number of times the 'refinement' resulted in a lower unemployment rate, 24."
