I'm big on making sure my cart rolls nice and smooth.

My technique is to look for one with the cleaner caster wheels as a start. Then pull her out and give it a quick test roll. If it's binding, dragging, whatever. I grab the next one. Once I went through 3 of them before finding an acceptable unit.

Many times the first one I grab works as it should.

I also strike up conversations with the cart jockeys at will. Earlier this week we had a chat about motorcycles with one of them.

In my world, we're all on the same team......

If it tracks straight with all that gatorade at 70+ mph, I'd say keep it.

also- She's a real looker.

I’m watching these buggies grow every once in a while. It seems that somebody in the apartment building next to them can walk to the grocery store, bring the food back with the buggy, but can’t bother to push it back.

Edit: at least they’re keeping them nice and orderly. 🙄

Also noteworthy is the paper sack!

Talk about a unicorn! :D

I carry them in both the Silverado and Volvo for when I shop. None of those sissy CLOTH shopping bags!

Mine are always double paper.....and I use self checkout every chance I get!

Another waste of time and energy. The video guy will accomplish nothing and maybe get seriously hurt some day. He has no idea who he is dealing with.

As for the asshat, that's typical in and near the handicapped spots. I have asked loudly, "Do you think the person that pulls in here next who uses a wheelchair to get out and move your cart so they can park?"

I might get a stare from some and a chuckle from others. Is it worth it? Hell no. Just move the cart to a better spot while they watch you. No harm there.

I'm getting too old to back up any BS I might dish out. As I said on the psychedelic thread, people are generally a time suck. Get in, get out, go home.

Gatorade is devils tea, it will rot your brain!

I went by again today and I thought, great, somebody took them back to the store.

But noooo, somebody has wedged them between the shrubs. 🙄
