  Dear Mr. Grocery Store Owner,

  In an ongoing effort to maintain a somewhat mutually beneficial relationship, I will agree to return shopping carts to their proper place, on the agreement that you will satisfy two of these requests:

  1. Air Condition the Parking lot. We all know it's hot as the Devil's anger out there, and don't play like YOU don't. No wonder the only person you can hire to go collect carts is half-retarded.

  2. Cage the Retarded Cart-Getting kid. I'm sure he's great at getting ALL the carts, and throwing away the old meat. However, I do not wish him to bag my groceries, especially my eggs, chips, and oreos.

  3. Move the Cart Corral Closer to where I park. If the little area was right next to my spot, it might be easier to put the cart in the corral.

  4. Stop Traffic while I'm walking across the WORLD to put the cart up. This is a good appropriation of the retarded kid's time.

  5. Give me an Incentive to put my cart up. Here's some ideas: - a coupon for something I like. - a shot at the retarded kid. - an extreme makeover.

  THank you very much Mr. Grocery store owner. I look forward to our next meeting.

  Sincerely,

  RichieRich

  When I lived out west ( Canada) to get the carts from the corral you had to put a loonie ( $1) in the frick'n cart ti unlock it from the others.To get your buck back once you were done shopping you had to go down this moving magnetized sidewalk/ escalator thing. If you were really lucky the magnets on the cart's wheels would actually work and you could avoid mowing down heplless senior citzens in front of you.I can't count how many times I got smashed in the back from a cart laden down with groceries.

  Big breath in ........ and out. I'm OK now.

  Ditto what you said Richie!

  I don't like it when the retarded girl with the nasty nasty puss acne bags my groceries and puts my cleaning supplies in with my fruits and vegetables or other foods...

  I don't like my food to smell like Tide or dryer sheets!

  Nice one Ritchie, in Britain we call these acne-ridden morons "Trolley-Wally's"

  I know a cart man whos a dub. That says it all! guess! Still its better than what I did which was window cleaning.

  When I visit my dad in America I hate it when they bag your food up - im British - I dont want to have to make pleasantries with someone I dont know, I dont want to feel like a colonial watching some poor middle aged hispanic woman work for me when I can do it myself, and finally I have a very BRITISH moment of pure confusion when I am deciding whether tipping is a good thing or a bad thing.

  (she will think im tight if I dont... but ... theres a poster saying its policy not to tip...but...it really is tight to fall back on the old 'poster' excuse...but...I didnt want her to pack my frickin bag anyway...but...she looks like she could do with the buck ... ...GODHELPMEIDONTKNOWWHATTODO!)

  We have a chain of store out here the requires a deposit of a quarter to unlock the carts. I think it's a good system. Cuts down on loose carts all over the parking lot. Except if I forget to keep quarters in my van. lol

  Do they separate the fresh meat and especially the fish from other foodstaffs? I had to tell them not to mix them together on several occasions.
