I found a unicorn!
 

I found the unicorn of buggies. This bad boy was smooth, quiet, tracked straight, and made me want to shop even more!

I like the cupholder in the front.

Clearly, this one was well setup!

lol! Needs a 944 badge.

I can tell you're from the South. :)

What? No death wobble on the front? A unicorn for sure!

Don't trust it. It's a trap.

That shouldn't be called a "buggie." It's a "shopping cart."

"Buggie" implies fun - think dune buggie.
"Shopping cart" means work, inconvenience, and expense.

It’s a southern thing. Next, you’re going to tell me the north won! 😂

Unicorn, huh? I thought you were talking about the hot/crazy matrix guy.

We have a new unicorn in the surgery center where I work. Young, single, Kardashian-level of hotness, and super, super nice girl with a heart of gold.

Does she fart rainbows? [emoji1787]

Honestly, I thought this thread was going to be about an entirely different kind of unicorn. Just sayin'....
:D :D

My OCD requires that I test each cart (yes my southern born wife calls then buggies) before I enter the store. I refuse to spend that much time with one that has a flat spot on a wheel, a wobble or push straight. Usually one discard and I've got a winner if I don't pick out a good one first time.

I also hardly ever go to where they are stored preferring to grab one from the lot saving one from the lot person.

Funny story: at our local chain they employ one mentally challenged lady who has been there 10 years if a day. She sweeps the aisles and looks after the carts. I think that's it, no bagging or stocking.

One day she was out gathering carts and I was just finished loading the car so I aimed the cart towards her and gave it a gentle shove so she could add it in the to string. You would have thought I assaulted her. She loudly told me to never push a cart across a lane that it was dangerous. She was angry and dead serious whereas anyone else would have said thanks.

I just avoid her now. Never know what's going on in a person's world in that state. Now I realize she prefers to just do her thing and not interact with anyone, bosses or customers. Hard, hard worker.

When I was a kid, I had this idea that if I ever owned a grocery store that I would personally test every BUGGIE. My plan was to take then around the store at speed, apexing turns from aisle to aisle.

And yes my Yankee friends: they are called buggies.

Here's another one for you: go love your mamaw's neck; give her some good. Translation: give your grandmother a hug

Looks nice, but did you get a PPI?

On a related subject, what do you do with the cart when you’re done?

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. 🙄

Car Guy is going to get his a** beaten some day.

And the Ramen noodles......:cool:

Bingo. I was waiting for somebody to notice them. 😂

I have the same exact pack sitting on my kitchen counter....lol.....;)

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. 🙄
