ϟ CLEANUP ON AISLE 9! AND AISLE 3! AND AISLE 2! … ϟ

Naah, someone will start protesting cruelty to animals.

The gardening department has fresh fertilizer too.

I bet the cost to maintain the ponies would cost more than the electric carts. If the store installs solar panels on the roof of their store, they could use the electricity to charge up the electric carts and be environmentally conscious.

Those look like donkeys, not ponies.

A pony for your thoughts? Bring your own pooper scooper.

I doubt that I would shop there.

They had to pony up a bunch for the little horses.

two words

pony poop

McPherson forgot to draw the stirrups.

Looks like something they’d do at Whole Paycheck.

Looks like fun! They could have pony races in the parking lot.

Animal cruelty: Most of the people who ride the carts weigh more than a pony.

Conchita!!

The amount of methane produced by the breakdown of the waste from the “organic fuel” would be a greater threat to the environment than if the carts were gasoline powered.

The donkey will cost about $2.50 to $3.00, the electric cart about $1.75 per day to charge. I doubt that the cleanup costs for the electric cart will be as big the problem as the donkeys cleanup will be. I guess you could require the customers to clean up after them.

This would never work—it would be a health hazard with these animals constantly pooping in a store with food everywhere. I like the recharging of the carts via solar power that someone else mentioned.

John McPherson forgot to draw the diapers on the small horses or donkeys.

Clean up on aisle 12

If someone is buying 12 items or less, can they use the Pony Express line?
