Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[Dannyalcatraz]

The correct way to put up your shopping cart is
1) find the nearest cart return to your car.
2) determine distance and then par 1 or less spaces: par 1 ; 2 to 4 spaces : par 2; more than that are par 3
3) determine your lie and windage
4) push the cart from your parking space towards the cart return with the goal of getting the cart in the return

5) Record your score and par for the course

Mom uses a mobility cart when we get groceries while I use a standard basket. But after loading up the car, both need to be returned.

Instead of nesting the basket in a parking lot corral and returning the cart, or making 2 trips, I get on the cart and use my right hand to pull the basket behind me.

And I’m getting stupidly good at accurately slinging my basket at its brethren in the store as a I make the big turn to take the cart to its charging station. I always get it on target enough for it to be in a single column of baskets, but I’ve actually gotten it to properly nest three times so far.

the one thing i've been guilty of and disliking is when people don't think to plug in the mobility carts after use.

Put a bow on it with a 'LIKE A BOSS' as it nestles in place. Or if you're an Ace Ventura fan, 'LIKE A GLOVE'.

That gets to be increasingly problematic as the carts get older and their batteries don’t hold charges like they used to.

FWIW, the WORST chaotic evil thing I’ve seen someone do with a shopping basket occurred earlier this year. Several of us were walking out about the same time. One person decided to grab his two bags out of his basket and carry them to his car. Normally, that’s not a real issue.

But this guy did it at the top of the ramp leading down from the sidewalk to the surface of the parking lot. He literally grabbed his bags and let the cart roll downhill uncontrolled…with cars coming in our direction. Fortunately, I was close enough (also on the ramp!) to be able to grab his now-empty cart without losing control of my full one.

He never even looked back as people were yelling at him to get his attention.

so, this happened me last week at walmart

The carts all have anti-theift stuff. So I'm in the back at the bottled water and coke, when the cart starts beeping at me like i'm taking it out of range of the store, all i can do is reverse, but due to how i'm angled I can't even do that. So I ended up jsut getting another cart then this past week, it beeped at me while in the frozen food section

I know the fella that runs the wheel lock program for Target. I've never heard of them locking up inside the store before. Though, when I bike into work the path goes behind a mall that has a Target. There is a crosswalk for folks who live in the nearby apartments. I've seen a number of times folks get about halfway across the cross walk and the cart locks up. Its pretty funny watching them try to figure out why. Sadly, instead of just not taking carts they have been transferring their Target products into Pet Smart carts that dont have the anti-theft wheel locking devices.

Due to inflation Eddie Money can now only afford two tickets to Ohio instead of paradise.

I think out of all the forums, enworld is the best technically. Everything here just works.

Yog-Sothoth.com is also pretty good, but extremely specialized.
