This morning ran by the store to pick up a couple items and while in checkout the guy in front after unloaded his items, pushes his basket on the floor in a void at the base of the conveyor belt.
Obviously, he did this because it was convenient to
him....not because it was a responsible way for an adult consumer to act.
I didn't say a word. I just picked it up and stored in under my shopping cart so I could return it to where the baskets were kept in the front of the store.
He saw me do it and gave me a look. In response I said "No worries....I will put it back with the others out front."
So he checks out and I move my cart forward and next thing I know he reaches down and pulls his basket back out and puts it with the others out front.
Good for him - I wasn't trying to be a jerk or anything. I spent 10 years as a store manager (business to business) and it's in my blood to be responsible as a consumer myself.
I wonder if he felt like a schmuck and decided to correct his irresponsible act?
