A friend of mine worked at Target and he said the best part of the day was collecting carts.
EDIT: I guess I'm lucky to live where the "cold" in the winter is in the 50s, and the "hot" of the summer is in the high 80s.
Your friend lied or y'all don't live in the south bc I fuckin HAAAAATEEEDD that shit
Hey it's that or customers, I always wanted the trolley job. Only got to do it once when the usual guy was sick. Didn't have to talk to a soul, could use my iPod. The day went so much faster.
Especially in the heat of summer. I feel bad for the cart wranglers when I see them going around the parking lot in the middle of the day.
What my man Edric here says is facts bc doing that in the summer or the winter is balls.
It's ok ish spring and late fall but between our car delivery people and the cart people two of them got hit by a car within 6 months or so.
I'd much rather keep my annoying ass spot in electronics than be constantly pinching my fingers on carts and finnicking with the stupid cart wrangler controller in the hot sun or freezing winter
The thing is, you still have to have someone collect them even when they're in their proper spot you just don't have parking spaces that could have had a car them filled with a shopping trolley, or trolleys rolling off and hitting parked cars. You also make that trolley guy's day better by not making them have to pull the trolleys from places they aren't supposed to be.
I used to work at a supermarket and agree that the trolley collection was by far the best job but I still hate those motherfuckers that leave their trolley just anywhere especially in otherwise valid parking spots.
If less cars are able to park at the shops that's a win. We need to get people out of cars.
Alright but think about that for a minute here. The trolley is in a parking space... Because someone was loading the shopping in to their car and just left the trolley there inconsiderately. So like, they drove their car to the shops and did that. You could maybe add this to the list of measures to encourage alternative means of transport, but it's certainly a funny way to go about it, sort of like just going out and driving so badly that it's impossible for anyone else to be on the roads with you. Bit of a slash and burn approach, certainly morally compromised. Maybe it'd be for the greater good in some infinitesimally small way but I think it'd be hard for people to see it as particularly heroic more than what is more aptly describable as being an asshole.
Some people load up a trolley to fill their cargo bike
Crippling cars is not the solution to that problem, making better alternatives usable is.
Both. But the getting people out of cars is more important in the immediate term because cars are killing the earth
Greatly depends on the time of day, and the environment.
Cool breeze and an off hours so things are quiet and still? Yeah that's not a bad way to spend 15-45 minutes. Middle of the summer when it's 85F (30C) outside or middle of a downpour freezing water? Not so great. And don't even get me started on blizzard conditions or people shoving carts up onto the grass cause the extra 20 steps to the cart corral was just too much.
