Whoever invented those shopping carts
that are mock-ups of little cars
should be jailed.

Hey....Be nice....I'm the IT guy for that company. That little cart helps pay my salary.

I keep pushing for a Beach buggy version with a rod holder up front that holds snoopy rods....Not buying into it yet

Larry, make the experience a positive one. Swimmer is dead on balls accurate, the supermarket should be an opportunity to stalk the fairer species (ref. frozen foods section on a hot summer day). If someone blocks your path or leaves the cart unattended, it is your obligation to throw in some additional things, as a concerned shopper, that you think they cannot do without. For a repeat offender, if you are really bothered, put something on the bottom rack of the cart and then wait to see if they get nabbed.
Finally, cart etiquette doesn't just happen inside the store, but I have not found an effective way to deal with people who just let them roll after their grocieries are in the car, so I still park about 1/4 mile away.

If it's a couple blocking the aisle... sneak a 12pack of rubbers in there.. see what happens where he/she finds out...

If you're actively looking, lose any shopping list you might have. Nothing says "married" like a guy using a shopping list

Frozen foods used to be better when they had the open freezers instead of the glass cased ones Now you have to wait for one to open the door before the brights come on.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
