I don’t even bother going this way on my walk home as I just know I am putting my life into my hands if I choose to do so.
So, what are my options here to express my frustration? 311 I’m guessing?

No seriously something needs to be done here. What you're talking about is only part of it. You can even add that the drivers block 10th ave and back up slowly into the loading dock blocking traffic.
An even bigger problem, if you sit outside the store and just watch what happens for about 15 minutes you'll get it. People wait on the street for a parking spot to open up. That blocks 10th ave and you get honking and angry drivers. They try to dangerously pass into oncoming traffic while others try to exit the parking lot at the same time. It's a daily thing with the worst being at noon. Add in the u turns everybody makes in front of the store and it's downright dangerous.
I've witnessed a couple near miss accidents and now know to not stand on the sidewalk. It's quite bad and I'm surprised the nothing's being done about it. Someone's going to get hurt.
