I definitely don't miss helping out with the carts on a freezing winter morning in Colorado and trying not to fall on my ass.
And it is those times when carts get abandoned more than ever.
Having to pull carts off of snowbanks and fracturing my arm after a fall was not my idea of a fun time when I used to work for a grocery store in high school.
Didn't even get to leave early that day because we were short staffed and "You're fine, you just need to keep your arm moving to work the pain off."
One of the formative moments for me that contributed to my distrust of capitalism.
