....I almost always grab stray carts and take them in or at least shove them into the cart corral....the old stock man in me never died....used to have to go on cart runs all the time when I worked at Kmart right out of high school.....gotta tell ya, nothing rivals the bouquet of a full diaper left in a cart in the hot summer sun.....
what I always find interesting, 5 people ahead of me walk through the maze of carts only to get in the store to go to the cart rack. I'm thinking, really?
You just walked by about 10 very acceptable carts that you could have grabbed. Not only would you have done a good deed for the poor pack mule that has to collect them, but you would also clear the path for other shoppers like yourself, or who are handicapped in some way or in a wheelchair.
And, by grabbing one, you walk straight in and start shopping instead of getting in the cattle line waiting your turn to get a cart. And some dipwad always grabs a cart and stands right there to rummage through their purse or fuss with a kid instead of walking out of the way so others can go about their business.
If only I ruled my little corner of the world...
