Mike Honcho 3,939 Posted January 23, 2018 What do you do with them after you're done shopping? What do you mean? I put them in the back of the jeep and take them home. Duh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cbfalcon 824 Posted January 23, 2018 1. I won't use a full sized cart. The half cart or bust for me. I'll walk around and find one if I have to. 2. I usually use the cart to take bags to the Jeep. Then I take the cart to one of the cart gathering areas. I assume 95% of people do the same, no? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
porkbutt 860 Posted January 23, 2018 shopping is for wimmens. i only go to a place i would need a small basket or lumber cart. but really..if i did... i'd return to the return thing or back in front of store. i hate the ###### that block a spot or let it roll around in lot. lazy focks :mad: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cbfalcon 824 Posted January 23, 2018 Sometimes, I don't put them in jeep, but tie them to the back and give kids rides. I do still occasionally lift the daughter up into one and push her really fast through the parking lot. My favorite trick is to give the cart a shove, then run up beside it. It freaks her out for a split second when she realizes I'm no longer controlling it and ensuring her safety. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,617 Posted January 23, 2018 my brother worked in a grocery store most of his adult life so I'm pretty sensitive to the subject. Not only do I take mine back, I usually end up grabbing half-a-dozen along the way. It's funny to see some women actually bring a cart over to me like I work there or something. What the hell, it beats them leaving it in the middle of parking lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Honcho 3,939 Posted January 23, 2018 There's cart bowling too, where if you see two cars, with two spaces between, you roll the cart as fast as you can at them and see if you can pick up the 7-10 split. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

penultimatestraw 473 Posted January 23, 2018 Lot of lazy people where you live? I can't remember if it was as bad when I lived in the continental US, but cart etiquette is atrocious here. This is probably the only behavior I follow Wiff's example, returning my cart and a few of those left by lazy focks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its way more than half where I live. I may see 5 or 6 carts outside the coral but there may be 5 or 6 corals with 5-20 or more carts depending on when they were last emptied.

BunnysBastatrds 1,886 Posted January 23, 2018 When I was in high school i worked in the building materials department at Houseworks. One of my jobs was to get the carts. I used to push as many as I could so I didn't have to make extra trips. Now I see the these kids with motorized carts that push them and it pisses me off. I shook my head a one kid the other day and he was like "What???" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,617 Posted January 23, 2018 I bet somebody's already created the solution. We sure as hell have the technology. The answer is simple. Drone shopping carts. Some guy walks out front and pushes a button and all the carts migrate towards the front. Auto-control is terminated if hands are on the cart. Maybe not even the front. Maybe just the closest Collection Center. Sort of like cattle wandering into the pen. Of course, if we get any lazier literally all of us are going to be doing our grocery shopping via mail anyway.
