What's Kicking Chicken?

The Wal-mart question

September 25, 2008 · 9 Comments

Many of you know that I have a history in retail.  Working in retail is one of those things that you either loved or hated.  I loved it.

So the other day I was going to Wal-mart and I noticed all of the shopping basket corals were full.   With great curriosity I watched to see what people would do with their shopping carts.

Boy did some people suprise me.  I was pretty amazed at what I saw people doing with the shopping cart they had just finished using.

What do you do with your shopping cart once you’re finsihed?  Do you just leave it in the parking lot?  Do you take it to the shopping cart coral or do you return it to the store?

Come on…….I want to know the truth!

    Jonathan,

    It’s great to hear from you ……where have you been? I actually had you on my mind yesterday.

    I see you are as “ocd” about this subject as I am.

    I use to be a stickler about putting the carts in the right place, until I had kids (5 and 2). Now I park very close to one of those buggy returns. If it is full when I get out, then I am one of those guilty partys of leaving it wherever if I do not have another adult with me.

    Jessica,

    I can totally understand what you are saying…..it really comes down to a choice between packing up the kids or leaving them unattended. Neither is a good option when you’re by yourself.

    I’ve been busy like a mad man! Not much time to maintain the side stuff.

    I always put my cart away, although I feel like one of the few at my WalMart here in Ohio. Many times I find someones cart against my car- very disappointing !
