It really depends on WHERE you park if you are going to park this way. Parking it in the boonies, way way out at the end of the parking lot? Saintly.
Parking it as close to the entrance as possible? Dungeon. 1000 years dungeon.
But generally I agree. This is the purpose of a truck. To haul heavy items that would not fit in a standard or small vehicle. But don’t buy a fucking truck for status or for your office job.
How about backing up the truck bed into the entrance doors, so when you get done, you just load it straight into the back of your truck, THEN exit the building, and drive off?
So the people carrying less items of smaller size have an easier time, and the person carrying the larger items to go in the larger truck have to go further away?
Ah yes, logic.
Why not have large parking spaces near the front to accommodate this, not expect people to just park somewhere else.
If you’re buying things that necessitate the truck, you won’t be carrying them. You’ll be rolling your order out on carts. It’s a non-issue to have to roll it a bit further.
IKEA and home depot both have loading zones typically where after you’re done shopping you can go get your truck, bring it to the front, load up, then be on your way. Costco and Best Buy will let you do it too for big TVs or furniture, and I’m sure other places don’t care either. I’ve definitely parked in the fire lane in front of a Harbor Freight to load up a super heavy hydraulic press and no one cares.
Sam’s Club (a warehouse store similar to Costco that’s owned by the same company as Walmart) does the same thing. They have a small loading zone in front of the store for people with big purchases.

Launched into the sun.
Ikea does have loading zones for this purpose.
Typically you don’t PARK in a loading zone.
The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the red zone.
