Greetings All,

I realize this is way beyond normal OT, but it's worth the thwap.

"Shopping Carts"
Ah, the joys of attending to the carts (I actually love doing this
job, especially on a busy day). Well,
the job comes with it's list of "Things I Hate" so here's a list of my
favs (customers pay attention).

1. Your shopping cart is not an all terrain vehicle. I am sick and
tired of retrieving
them from grassy knolls because you're too lazy to take them back to a
cart
corral or the front door.

2. Your shopping cart is not an animal and is not meant to lay on it's
side (or on
it's face, for that matter).

3. The places where trees have been planted are NOT cart watering
holes. Carts
do not require water and thus should not be placed here.

4. Carts are not cars and should not be left in a parking space,
especially the
handicap spaces.

5. Carts are not to be used for trash cans (I actually found TWO bags
of someone
elses garbage in a shopping cart before).

6. The shopping cart is not a diaper changing station (yes,
unfortunately I found a
diaper in a cart one time. Not sanitary)

7. Just because you don't need your cart doesn't mean you should just
walk off
and leave it blocking MY register. At least show a common courtesy by
taking it
to the cart well.

8. Stop putting kids who are too big for the child seat in the actual
cart. It's
unsanitary and the next guest will not want their merchandise placed
where your
kid might have "gone".

9. Just because a cart is warm from being in the sun, it doesn't mean
it has the
plague. If you want it, use it, stop complaining.

10. (most fav) THE DOOR MARKED "NOT AN ENTRANCE" IS FOR CARTS
ONLY!!! JUST BECAUSE IT'S OPEN DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN ENTER OR
EXIT THERE (I mean, are you too lazy to use the AUTOMATIC door?) (I
actually
had to wait several minutes one day while working at the SUPER center
while a
whole truckload of Hispanics went in the open cart door. Meanwhile
people were
leaving through the same door. Geez people, there are other doors, USE
THEM!!!)

Enjoy.
