re: Anyone ever gotten the "good" buggy at a supermarket? Or does the "good" buggy even exist?

It really depends on the store, my local H-E-B has great shopping carts.

I can't imagine anyone ever having a derogatory thought or expression about H-E-B. We don't have them, as far as I know they are only in Texas....but damn they nearly make grocery shopping, if not a pleasurable experience, the kick in the nuts it is at most grocery stores....

Shop at better places


The quality of the grocery story is directly correlated to the quality of the buggies

a fricked up wheel?

This is known as the CRAZY WHEEL and is a feature on all shopping carts in Louisiana. I personally don't subscribe to the Buggy thing. You can figure those out for yourself.

I know how to tell if one has a fricked up wheel or not. But I can’t tell you the secret or the good ones will always be taken.

Last time I was in Walmart I stopped at the WD40 display and lubed up the wheels

My local Publix recently replaced all of theirs with brand new, they are great. Outside of that, I agree they are all messed up in some way, and recently I've noticed they don't come apart so easily as they have in the past, and that's everywhere. My first job was a bag boy at Kroger and had to retrieve all the carts from the parking lot as part of the job, I'm very adept at shopping cart functionality but lately these dam things have some design change that makes them a pain in the neck to separate.

I think the smaller grocery stores have better carts because they typically retrieve them from the parking lot more frequently, keeping them out of the elements. Also that motorized thing that Walmart uses to push the 300 foot, 2 ton line of buggies has to be tearing the wheels up.

I feel your pain. Around here Market Basket has much better carts than
Kroger. Rouses are alright.

I have never had a problem with Dollar General carts.
