The entire lot is empty and the blue car has to park right next to me
For starters Yes, my vehicle is the giant pickup truck, And also, this is at the back of the parking lot, there are three additional planter sections not shown in this picture towards the front of the lot that are also empty
My truck is large, so I purposely park in the back of the lot and take up two spaces especially today because I had some 10 ft 4x4 post in the bed of my truck for some fencing I was repairing.
This is a brand new WinCo in town with about 500 parking spaces and of those a total of 30 of them were taken, all at the front.
This Chevy parked right next to me and left me barely any room to get into my passenger door to load my groceries, the entire row was empty from the beginning of the lot to the end of the lot, and he had to park right next to me.
Edited to add the reason I take up two spaces is my truck is over 20 ft long, and I take up two spaces at the back of the lot specifically not to stick out into the aisle to block people, and once again I had 10 ft post sticking out the bed of my truck because I had gone to home Depot before going shopping

Wire for garage pre wiring
So I'm off grid in an area with little to no oversight. I'm adding a portable garage to my area as a workshop.
I'm running a 5000w inverter and a 3500w generator for when the solar can't keep up.
My power currently runs in from the generator, to the hybrid inverter, to my breaker panel.
I have breakers before the inverter on the generator, and a master breaker in the breaker panel for the house circuitry. The inverter also has an internal breaker
I have a grounding rod for the generator, and a grounding rod for the house, proper 8ft copper 3/4 inch rods with to code grounding wires
Now on to my plan,
the garage is 20x12ft with pavers as a floor, it's not perfectly weather tight so it will get moist inside depending on the weather
My plan was to try to adhere to code as much as possible
I want to add a second breaker panel after the inverter for the garage.
My plan was to use it's secondary output terminals to run a 10/2 wire in buried conduit to the new breaker panel in the garage, and then use 12/2 to wire up the 6 outlets inside junction boxes on either long walls
I was planning on putting a 4x4 pressure treated post in the ground at each outlet location so the conduit isn't supporting the box.
Ideally I'd like to get wire I can find locally at home Depot or a local electrical shop
The conduit will be buried and come up out of the ground about 36 inches before I put an outlet on it.
Oregon building code btw
What wire should I be using, I'm planning on using 3/4 or 1 inch sch40 gray PVC conduit and gluing it
Edited to add
I'm adding a sub panel so in the future I can put the garage on its own inverter and generator and solar
The tools going in the shop are 1500w CNC spindle with a 300w controller on its own dedicated 20a circuit from the sub panel
A 84w mini PC and a 16w monitor
A few 100w battery chargers for my mostly Battery operated tools
A 7w laser engraver
A couple 300-400w 3d printers.
If the CNC is running, the 3d printers won't be, my inverter will be nearing max with the house load.
