So are you one of those people who tests out as many shopping carts as it takes in order to find one with four balanced wheels? You know....so you don't end up with the cart that goes "Clank, clank, clank. clunk, clunk, clunk" as you maneuver through the aisles? And once you have placed all your bags into your vehicle, do you leave the cart in a parking space? Or do you kindly take it to the shopping cart spot? Yes....the topic of shopping carts is more thought provoking than you thought.

i hate it when those cart handles get rusty...

Shopping carts - Price range is $75.00- $300.00 & in some places $400.00

Ummm..haha I am a tester. In fact I am that woman who will wheel cart about three feet,curse at it,turn around and get another one.

Most I did this with?three in row at walmart

The (all American) history of the shopping cart.

Nope, I don't test, just grab the first one. Then when I've loaded my car I take it back. Do I get points for any of this?

unless it absolutely won't go where i point it, i will use it. but yes i will put it in the corral not just shove it in the general direction

I am a tester too. Gotta have 4 good wheels or back it goes. I am also a conformist on the little things, so I tend to return the cart or at least offer it to someone headed into the store.

Wow I'm going to start taking those carts and sell them on the black market.

They come in a variety of shapes, sizes ,styles, & made with different materials, for different uses in a rainbow of colors now.


* Yes...I double checked*

Would like to have one of my own sassy

In about 10 more minutes, someone might hire me for their ' customer relations department' or 'research '

I don't care so much about the wheels as much as who was touching it last and where were there hands

It will be great if they have voice commands with hydronic wheels and auto hurdle detect also if those cart can read our minds and can pull some discounted bags of worth use will really be helpful

There is a grocery store in my town where you have to put a quarter in to get it out of the line.

You know, there is never a cart left in the parking lot.

LOL

Yea now days with some of the scuzzy people pushing shopping carts around I tend to take my own cart and shop with it. I never did like putting my kids in them. Of course I did/do not like seeing "kids" (I use the term loosely) half secured going through stores or worse running wild in them destroying merchandise or damaging cars that gets added onto the cost of what I buy either.

Using my smaller cart keeps me from buying too much at a time (stuff I really would not need) and much easier to get down the aisles. Amazing how little you waste when you carry what you buy home. Or have it delivered.

I do get very tired of pulling carts off the handicapped ramps and out of the walk ways. Very annoying to have to walk around out in traffic if you are visually/physically impaired. Since they are store property I think they should be fined for blocking the access.

I miss the days where you had a polite clerk walk you to your transportation, put them in your vehicle, and you tipped them for the service. Then they return the cart to the store so it wasn't an obstruction.

I really resent when you see them littering clear across the area and down in the waterways rusting and clogging the drainage.

And I resent when the homeless are allowed to use them to pillage and spread their trash all over. It does them no kindness to allow them to use them to sleep in and drag their stuff around. If they could not use them, even for shelter, then they would be more inclined to get into programs/shelter. Why feed the delusions they are some how making out ok?
