The Helpers Aren't Really Helping

I commend those shoppers who return their carts to the cart area. I shouldn't have to, because it's the decent thing to do. But you know how people are these days. 

Sometimes, people THINK they are helping, but they're really not. Like those who push their carts back to the front of 10Box.


Look at that. So many shoppers have returned their carts. But they've overdone it! They did not simply put the cart in the striped area designated for cart return. They went too far! They parked all those carts on the SIDEWALK! All the customers who parked to the right side of T-Hoe have no way to get to the door, or back to their car. They must go out into the driving area behind T-Hoe!


Heh, heh! How convenient that while I was inside, all the previous cars left, leaving me with a plethora of parking spaces from which I might have chosen!

Anyhoo... that wide striped area beside T-Hoe is where the carts belong. To collect there, until there are enough to be pushed inside the garage door. No need to push those carts up against the garage door, because that will hinder the worker when trying to get them inside. When a worker gathers carts from the corrals out in the regular parking lot, they bring them up and leave them with their front wheels on that crack between the blacktop and the concrete sidewalk.

These "helpers" are actually "hinderers." They block the sidewalk so people can't safely move from auto to store and back. They make the workers work harder to move all those carts back away from the building, and stack them into each other before pushing them inside.

Still, it's better than the cart I saw upon leaving, out in the middle of a parking space.
