sigh the struggle….

The cart in the last panel is special for Carlos Santana.

Believe it or not, grocery shopping carts are rated for over 500 lbs capacity.It is HARD to get that much product stacked into one.

And the bad wheels are not the result of overloading, it’s usually from crashing into curbs and water getting into the bearings.

Well, now we know what happens to the carts.

Careless employees are a real issue……

..cart maintenance is contracted out. The store employees have no control, except for the loss of control and crashes out in the back while doing cart races..

Tried to buy lumber at a home improvement store and couldn’t find any flat carts. So I started counting and found 27 were being used by the store for stuff they hadn’t put away. The rest were in the parking lot.

It’s hard trying to dodge loose carts,in the parking lot on a windy day.

Cart carte blanche.

non caring employees is the problem…..

Call me weird (everybody else does…), but I like the noisy carts. Especially in a busy store. They can hear me coming up to the blind corners. I don’t get run over near as much.
