I am taught to despise many of Walmart's policies, yet I've spent nights in their parking lots in at least five states already. I consider them an upgrade from the highway rest-stop. They do have the cheapest jugs of drinking water, motor oil, French Onion Sunchips, 24-hour security and usable bathrooms. I think their open-lot policy is a brilliant business strategy.

As for the social comment made by the fact that I am more comfortable sleeping at a Walmart than at a state rest-stop... well I'm not comfortable commenting on that. But a great idea for a documentary; I'd love to see it.

Is there a web site for the film?
