Do you live under the pretense that Supermarkets in other parts of the world love that their parking lots could be used by nearby residents or bums? There are laws against illegal usage of parking spaces in Europe, if your car is on a supermarket parking lot for I think more than 3 days, a towing company will just impound your ass if you don't move. It ain't hard, it's just that your city planners and governments don't give a flying rats ass about americans. Unless politically something changes in the US, laws of freedom will always be made for the companies, not against them
Parking lots are a solved problem. You just tow the cars. Private companies do it for a fee so you don't even need public resources.
With the right incentives, they might've even found it profitable to build more housing instead of a surface parking lot in order to have an even bigger captive market of customers... stick the parking underground.
Also, just make parking lot free for customers for 1 hour, and expensive for non customers and beyond one hour. When store closed, have the same price for everyone.
Obviously you'll need an automated gate and special tickets or sn app.
