I hate crappy parkers too, but there is somewhat of a reasonable explanation to this. That is a Megacab Longbox dually. The picture doesn't properly convey how massive that truck is. It is way too long and wide for a conventional space. That truck is an absolute behemoth and even if it was parked conventionally, it is going to take 2 spaces, as it is so long, it will hang out into the driving lanes if parked straight in. Also it would take surgical driving skill to swing that into a stall without clipping someone. The parker did the right thing to prevent damaging someones car, it is just the proximity to the front of the store that is the parking foul. The 'sensible way to park it, would to be park it as seen in the photo, but in a far, unoccupied, corner of the lot. Judging by the fact it is near the shopping carts, which are usually near the door, that courtesy wasn't extended.
edit: That particular parking lot at that Co-op (Macleod trail) is pretty much full all the time, and has very little 'dead space' based on the layout of the surrounding strip malls. This is pretty much a 'Kobiyashi Maru' parking scenario for the driver of the truck.
