I think we need laws changed on shopping carts

[Texashiker]

I had to go to the local wal-mart to pick up some stuff for a company meeting this evening. While I was pushing the cart around, this whale parks her cart in the middle of the isle. Before I could build up ramming speed, she moved out of the way.

This got me to thinking, lets petition congress to require drivers licenses for shopping carts.

Once the bill is introduced into congress, we need to form a company that it a cart-taxi. People that do not have a license to push their shopping cart would have to rent a driver by the foot.

1 mile = 5280 feet

Lets charge $1 per foot. By the time some people get finished shopping, they will be working for us for 3 or 4 months.

When congress passes the law, we will have the only company that has the required licenses, so we will have a monopoly for a short period of time.

We could offer a senior citizens discount, for something like .50 cents for 100 yards. Fat people we charge double, if they can afford to be fat, they can afford to have someone push their cart.

So she moved out of your way before you asked her to move. How is this affecting you or inconveniencing you? If she didn't move or didn't want to move then that is another story.

Was said whale a blue whale or a humpback?

Those blue whales are sons of bitches. :|

Terrible rant, -50 DKP

I'm more shocked by the fact that there was apparently a considerate person at Walmart.

 

[Gibson486]

Wow...sometimes I think you are high when you post.

And if you are not high, you are just on a high horse.

There are too many holes in your statement for me to know where to begin but I'll try.

1. You are shopping at Walmart, what do you expect. Shop at a decent store and you MIGHT run into decent clientele.

2. You already solved the problem in your opening statement and we don't issue driver's licenses to whales. Refer to 1.

3. You want to fix this "problem" by instating more rules and regulations to make it "easier" for you to shop at Walmart. Again, refer to 1, only this time, realize that you are the Walmart clientele I was referring to.

4. Next time, don't vote.

i fix this by not using shopping carts. if you can't carry it, GTFO, i don't want to wait in line while you purchase two weeks of food for your 15 children.

 

[waffleironhead]

Whats rude is people who think they can/should ram other people's carts. I had never experienced that until I lived in CO. Rude people would ram my cart out of the way if it blocked what they wanted to get at.

I live in a small town with 2 grocery stores - walmart and brookshire brothers.

To shop anywhere else, I have to drive close to 100 miles.

haha quoting this so everyone knows how ghetto fabulous and poor you are 😀

Real men shop at costco. Everything is at least 20 pounds. They even sell 20kg bags of sugar. That's like fitty pounds.

Couldn't agree with you more only that its YOU and ME footing the bill in this case.

i...just don't need 50 pounds of sugar?

i go to the store a couple times a week for 'supplies' that typically fit in a basket. occasional other specialty trips to stock up on soda or bottled water or something.

 

[ShawnD1]

I would need to shop literally every day if I had to carry everything I buy. Milk is about 10 pounds and we go through 3 of those per week. A gallon of bleach here, a half gallon of ammonia there, dish soap, laundry soap, car battery, computer.

I purchase two weeks of food from my 3 kids and wife. I use coupons, as well. Hope you don't get behind me at Kroger because you'll be waiting a hell of a long time 🙂

Well, once you move out of your parents house and begin to fend for yourself, a couple of times a week with a basket you carry won't begin to cut it. For now, enjoy the fact your parents are providing all the "crap" that you're not having to buy that's enabling you to just small quantity "supply" shop twice a week.

 

[artikk]

You're a retard.

 

[Squisher]

It's all about the choke points. Did you notice the aisle narrows to only allow one or two carts? Then why did you pick this point to start chatting with someone else?

Costco has to be worst with those free sample stations.

you're utterly retarded.

edit: that was mean, let me reword-

if you need a hundred pounds of butter, sugar, milk, lard, and whatever else every week, maybe your fat ass should just go ahead an put the coroner on speed dial.

It doesn't matter where you shop; people are rude, self-entitled fucks. They think the fuckin' universe circles around them, and don't have anything in their vacuous brains than their own petty desires. I've seen it in the best, and worst of stores, so you can't get away from it.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Yeah...good luck with that.

 

[BudAshes]

I say this in every fucking walmart post. STOP SHOPPING AT WALMART or stop complaining. Your cheap goods are only coming at the expense of this countries prosperity.

In Toronto they have places with signs that say "no standing" basically, they don't want people just standing in a corner, blocking people who are actually trying to walk. I think there needs to be similar laws with carts. Your cart must be moving at all times to keep a proper flow of traffic in the isle. The fine would be doubled between November and end of January. Nothing worse than Christmas or boxing day shoppers that stop with their cart blocking off entire isles. When you get a ticket, instead of it being a traffic violation, it would be a shopping violation.:twisted:

This is your problem. You couldn't pay me to go there.
