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.
