re: Is it trashy to leave grocery carts in the middle of a parking lot?

We leave the kids in the car, with the windows cracked. They have permission to shoot paintballs at anyone who leaves a cart on the lot, as long as they don't get caught.

It keeps them quiet. Cody is like a ninja assassin, and Dustin is learning fast.

I worked at Lowe's and was a regular in the parking lot getting carts. From that experience, along with actually working retail, I have and always will follow the following rule: I will do anything that I wouldn't want to do after 8 hours of work in retail.

It applies to shopping carts, realizing you don't want that rump roast or extra can of food at the register, leaving items in different departments, etc. The list goes on.

Yes, I was paid to pick up the carts, gather my department items, front stock the shelves, but I also understand after doing those things and dealing with the general public for 8 hours, who tend to have little remorse, my extra 30 feet of walking to put a cart back or return an item to its shelf saves someone like my old self from staying another hour after closing to gather those carts or get 10 different tools from across the store that someone left.

Moral of the post: being considerate goes a long way.

Why are all you mother frickers worried about being trashy?

Oh absolutely. The worst offenders of negligence in grocery stores are often older white folks with plenty money.

I was behind an older lady the other day in Fresh Market checkout line who unloaded groceries, paid for them, grabbed the bags they were put into.. and just left her cart in the register line. Like right in front of me/the credit card machine. I was like who the hell does this lady think is standing by to take her cart from the middle of the register line?

I normally hate these types of people, but lately I've had such bad experiences with employees in grocery stores that I'm beginning to think the "a-hole" customers are just fed up and dishing back out what they receive.

I always walk my cart back inside at Fresh Market. More time to admire the scenery.
