Close enough, it's not blocking a space. Better to be secure, but got to take what wins we can get. It's possible that when that cart was brought there the corral was full and the person retrieving them didn't get the loner. It's like the pictures of the car parked across several spots without the context that there was snowfall and no lines were visible then.
It's somewhat secure with that post nearby. Also, it's more accessible for people who park the other side of the stall.
I love it when I find a cart away from the stalls but conveniently in my path towards the store.
Yeah I feel like if you get it into the corral, I'll give you a pass, even though why not just finish the job at that point.
If the corral was full then go to a different one or take it back to the store like a decent person. This is like assholes in my neighborhood who put boxes next to their trash can because they filled it up. And then the wind blows their shit all over the neighborhood.
Did you have one epically infuriating shopping trip spread out across multiple posts or are parking lots part of your beat?
It was the former. I had a bizarre, slightly yet constantly irritating shopping trip. I thought the cart was funny. Then handicap ramp man. What I didn't post about is how people kept walking in front of me, forcing me to jerk my shopping cart to a halt, and how a major supermarket lost all of their macaroni and cheese. They recently had a remodel and three employees and I couldn't find it anywhere. It was a weird trip.
Well we're all benefitting from it by sharing in your mild infuriation. Thank you for your service.
🙄
“Eh close enough” and “they have workers to do this.”
~ them, probably
"job creation" they would say as they throw their receipt on the ground before leaving...
"oh man, I have to do what I'm paid for".
~ you, probably
If you know anything about grocery stores, you'd know that relatively few of them actually hire dedicated cart pushers. The people who are asked to go out and get carts are typically people whose primary job is something else that they have to put on hold. And with stores struggling to hold sufficient staffing even before the pandemic made things worse, these are people who are also already very overworked and would probably love to not have to spend longer than needed out in the elements when they're behind on everything else.
No pass. It technically IS blocking a walkway, the path next to the corral. Though I guess you could push it but the problem is that other lazy bones will pile carts up there until it causes even more blockage.
It’s possible you’d risk an aneurysm in our Walmart parking lot.
What's annoying about this layout is that it is only one-sided. It looks like they approached from the back of the corral and then decided good enough. I'd say this is a failure of the parking lot design.
So close. It's like they knew they had to do something, just not exactly what
Nah, that's a gimme
It's not in the walkway or middle of the lot so I think he passes too.
Why is nobody talking about that ridiculous parking job next to the cart corral?
Cos it's not ridiculous. It's perfectly parked in the lines.
Its 60° parking but the perspective makes us think it should be 90°
Oops
There's just no pleasing some people. Its next to the cart return and seems somewhat parked between the light and the return so its not rolling anywhere. Feel free to make up problems in your head to be mad about though
If you made it that far you could have made it into the corral too
If you actually care you should return the cart to the store
This is the least thing to get upset about. The cart is out of the way, and isn't blocking any parking spaces. They obviously were on the other side of the corral. They even put it next to the corral. You're just upset for no reason.
I've done this job. There are far worse things to get frustrated about than this. This isn't remotely mildly infuriating. You're mildly lazy at your job.
I'm not the cart guy, I just shop there.
It's interesting, reading this comment and your others here, how you have to make things up so you can pass useless judgment on other people. That's also mildly infuriating - you're just shitting on people while saying nothing of value.
You might want to think about why you do that. I can understand saying things people might not want to hear but should, but the only thing that would change if all your comments here just disappeared is everything would be more pleasant.
Gathering carts was my favorite job when I worked at a grocery store! Fresh air, a break from all the people, help old people with loading their trunk. At the time the cars and carts were still made of metal and shit got scratched up. Now everything is made of plastic and I don't get the outrage. I got a million problems and this ain't one of em
Exactly, you know how it is.
