Here it is straight from WalMart:
WalMart's Stance on Overnight Parking
Quote from the article "Walmart values RV travelers and considers them among our best customers." This article would be considered more than just PR spin if Walmart actually would also publish who they consider to be among their worst customers.
The fact that they don't tell their managers to always allow overnight parking unless there is an over-riding reason not to, such as local ordinances or insufficient lot space tends to show they really don't go overboard catering to those "Best Customers". Furthermore, you won't find any articles or documentation showing where Walmart and their $9,000,000+ cash on hand has been used to try and defeat any small town local initiative that bans overnight parking.
On the other hand, they have no problem using their resources to resist efforts to unionize their workforce or using that financial clout to force their suppliers to move their manufacturing operations to lower labor cost countries like China, Pakistan, India, Vietnam and countless other third world countries. Their "Buy American" campaign is relegated to the scrapheap of history, replaced by their desire to make as much money as possible off of everyone, regardless of the social costs. I think Walmart might be a few gestures short of Sainthood.
