And another thing:
Our Walmart is getting a facelift. It has been almost the same since 1995. There may have been little changes here and there, but nothing like this. And thank God for it. The remodel was needed.
I’ll tell you what, they could have only replaced the carts, and I would’ve been happy.
Yeah, you read that right. The carts, or what you may call a buggy, depending on the region of the country in which you reside, were awful.
They were so awful I looked up synonyms for the word awful to describe just how bad the grocery carts were.
Unpleasant, disgusting, nasty, horrid, foul, appalling, atrocious, horrendous, hideous, abominable, offensive, revolting, repulsive, repugnant, unsatisfactory, substandard, and vile.
I would occasionally get a cart that would only want to turn one way — all the time. My left arm would be exhausted from trying to push it all over the store in a straight line. Or I would get one that made a noise like a shrieking wildcat on a torture rack.
Some of the carts had rust on them. Some of them needed a front and rear wheel alignment. Others needed to be leveled out. All of them needed a good sanitizing wash. And let’s face it, they all needed to be thrown in a scrapyard and melted down into something useful.
One time, I looked down at Son #2 sitting in the child’s seat, and he had one end of the child restraint strap in his mouth.
Its original color was blue with white letters. But by this point, the entire strap was a dull brown color.
As I snatched the strap out of his mouth, I doubled over to the side and just dry-heaved for a couple of minutes.
I told Charity we needed to take him to the emergency room to get his mouth washed out and his stomach pumped.
We just washed his mouth the best we could. It was awful. Awful, along with all of its synonyms.
But now we have new carts.
Howell County, could we do a little bit better with these new carts?
As I was leaving Walmart last night, I noticed a cart occupying a parking space.
I have a question.
How hard is it to walk a shopping cart to its stall?
Nope. Having your kids in the car isn’t an excuse to leave it out.
I have taken my children shopping by myself, put the groceries in the car, taken both children with me to the stall, put the cart up, and walked back with my boys.
It’s that simple.
Are you in a hurry? Should’ve left sooner. Plain and simple.
Can’t walk very well? Go shopping with someone who can. Or use the grocery pickup. I will teach you how to use the app, and by doing so, I will change your life. Just message me on Facebook.
When our new shopping carts arrived, I felt like I was driving a Rolls-Royce. It was so smooth and luxurious.
Locals, let’s do what we can to ensure the carts stay as nice as possible and don’t need to be replaced in six months. Because even if they need to be replaced, the local store will make us wait thirty years before they get any new ones.
to the cart wranglers,
