Im never stopping at a walmart in uppity white people land ever again. Some old man took a pic of my liscense plate cause i didnt put my cart back

Im having a hard time functioning and walking far cause of health issues. I put the cart between our cars and pushed it up when i was done. Out comes some old white dude who happens to have the crappy minivan next to me. He says really and says hows he's supposed to get into his door. I ignore him and he's trying to talk to me while im in my car. I ignore him. He goes ti the back of my car as im trying to back out and takes a photo of my liscense plate while still talking to me as im ignoring him.

Listen buddy you could have pushed the cart up more or moved it. Its happened to me before ive had to move carts to get into my car but I'm not yelling at someone over it or making them feel threatened.

If you were in my neighborhood i would have decked his ass but because i was in uppity white people land i had to play by the rules. Who they gonna listen to my broke ass or some well off old white dude? Exactly

Here in England you have to put a pound coin (about $1.10) into the shopping cart to release it from its storage area.When you are finished shopping returning the cart to it's storage area releases the coin.If you don't take the cart back you lose your money.Everybody takes their carts back to the correct storage area.

@tallpowerhouseblonde so you could gather all the stray ones and cash in? Cool

@tallpowerhouseblonde Yes a little money makes all the difference.

tallpowerhouseblonde · 36-40, F

@SW-User Sure if I could find any.But there never are any carts abandoned.That was the purpose of making people put the pound coin in.

tallpowerhouseblonde · 36-40, F

@jeancolby It adds up.A pound a week for anyone that does not return their shopping cart.We call them shopping trolleys.

jeancolby · 31-35, F

@tallpowerhouseblonde That's not to much really.

tallpowerhouseblonde · 36-40, F

@jeancolby No but it is still wasteful.Like giving it away.After a year that can be a tank of gas.

jeancolby · 31-35, F

@tallpowerhouseblonde When you look at it that way it does add up, and some folks do need every penny they can save.

tallpowerhouseblonde · 36-40, F

@jeancolby Even more so now with high inflation.

jeancolby · 31-35, F

@tallpowerhouseblonde That's right, and everything keeps going up. We are even talking about putting our rate up, well Betty has been grumbling about it here lately.

tallpowerhouseblonde · 36-40, F

@jeancolby Ours have just gone up,the pound exchange rate against the dollar and euro is tanking and inflation is crazy high.Now we have refugees from Ukraine as well.

jeancolby · 31-35, F

@tallpowerhouseblonde If it carries on I might park the Merc and use the BMW. So far no refugees, in our niegbourhood they wouldn't stay long.

tallpowerhouseblonde · 36-40, F

@jeancolby We invited the refugees.For real.We have two BMWs and are lucky because we can afford to run both of them.We use the X5 a lot with having three children.

jeancolby · 31-35, F

@tallpowerhouseblonde Betty has a lot of cars, we can also use any one we want.

tallpowerhouseblonde · 36-40, F

@jeancolby We have two.The X5 is my boyfriend's and I own an M3 convertible.

jeancolby · 31-35, F

@tallpowerhouseblonde We also have a huge RV, its more like a huge coach/bus. Both great cars.

DeluxedEdition · 26-30, F

@tallpowerhouseblonde we have that for some chains. I think it’s a brilliant idea

@tallpowerhouseblonde that is a VERY good system and it works on 99% of the shopping carts. There was a company / shopping center I frequented many years ago in the upper North Eastern US and they had that system. There were NO shopping carts sitting everywhere and nobody had to worry about their cars being damaged due to lazy asses not taking carts back!
The carts required a quarter (.25cents) or a token could be purchased for less than that and be reused if you were a regular customer.
That would work awesome at walmart and other places.....!
