The Woody show (radio) here in LA does a pretty hilarious segment called Cary narcs.

Depends if they are red or blue.

The political parties are using the cart colors as subliminal ads.

Ahhh... thanks.

So interesting that the Sam Walton had blue carts and Sol Price had red ones...

Unless you are disabled I consider you the scum of the earth if you don’t have the courtesy to walk 30 seconds to corral your cart. I’ve never been to a store in my life where the shopping cart employees are patrolling the lot quick enough to prevent damage to other people’s vehicles.

I’d just as soon we cattle prod these people on the spot.

Side note: I keep seeing people this week with another solution. They walk home with their groceries in the cart lol Have you seen these nut jobs?

If everyone grabbed a cart from the lot on their way up to the store, things would be better.

Red Carters are clearly well-organized fascists. Blue Carters are anarchist animals!

OP, really, this is your post? Does it feel good to make passive aggressive comments about other people? Did you get a ‘chuckle’ at their expense? These are the kinds of posts that highlight what’s wrong with this forum.

Now, if you go to the store I go to there is one cage per acre. But there are a couple guys who do nothing but shag buggies and take them inside. They seem happy in their work. They usually come to my car to grab the buggy. But if they don't, I leave it in the space next to my car. Sorry that poor buggy service in your store has ruined your life, but I'm not walking half way across the lot to cage the buggy.
Oh, there seems to be a misunderstanding. I always park in the worst spot furthest from any entrance. Parking my car physically close to the store so that I can get inside faster doesn't appeal to me. I see people doing rounds trying to find close parking like their lives depend on it. I go way back and in the time that I've walked from the spot a mile away, they are still doing rounds.

A little bit of walking is going to kill anyone.

It's a matter of principle. I'd love to live in a fantasy world where some person is standing at every spot ready to grab my cart as soon as I unload it. Well, at least you're honest about it. I personally could not block a parking spot because I'm too lazy to walk for a minute.

Probably the same animals who get up from a family picnic and leave their trash scattered all over the grass when there's a trash can 5 feet away.

Time is money. My time has as much value as anyone else’s, and I’m not wasting it doing the store’s job. It’s the principal of the thing.

If you want to invest your time shagging carts, I’m good with that. You can cage as many as you’d like.

How peculiar. Shagging a shopping trolley would get you locked up in the loony bin round this way.

Got to say that is quite a selfish and entitled attitude.

I laugh at them too. These are the same people who pay to go to a gym and use a treadmill, yet do the least amount of walking possible in their daily lives.

And you might as well ask why can't Wallmart shoppers brush their teeth.

thats a shopping trolley, a cart is what you drive on a golf course, a buggy is a type of car.

I never do either Eliot. I was reading about this very thing. It’s somewhat regional. In Florida most people don’t. There are workers in the lot taking the carts back in. I leave mine right by my car.

In Canada it’s different as are many things here. They will walk through a blizzard to return a shopping cart. There, I leave mine next to my car. If someone is with me, they will return the thing. It’s regional.

Yes it gets pushed into the corner and becomes a large pile of ice.

I learned to return my cart to the corral at the market by watching my father when I was a kid. He told me to do otherwise was rude and inconsiderate because it risked damaging other peoples cars.

I taught my son to always return his cart to the corral as well.

She must be a Target shopper...or, as we say in the South of US, Tarjây...

They return the cart - but park them willy-nilly in the corral.

Always return my shopping trolley to the corral, nothing worse than people leaving trolleys sitting in car spaces.

I never would have thought there are people who rant about shopping carts. Bizarre. It’s as if the carts chase them in their nightmares.
