Close enough, it's not blocking a space. Better to be secure, but got to take what wins we can get. It's possible that when that cart was brought there the corral was full and the person retrieving them didn't get the loner. It's like the pictures of the car parked across several spots without the context that there was snowfall and no lines were visible then.

It's somewhat secure with that post nearby. Also, it's more accessible for people who park the other side of the stall.

I love it when I find a cart away from the stalls but conveniently in my path towards the store.

Yeah I feel like if you get it into the corral, I'll give you a pass, even though why not just finish the job at that point.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

If the corral was full then go to a different one or take it back to the store like a decent person. This is like assholes in my neighborhood who put boxes next to their trash can because they filled it up. And then the wind blows their shit all over the neighborhood.

Did you have one epically infuriating shopping trip spread out across multiple posts or are parking lots part of your beat?

[–] SoleInvictus 11 points 11 months ago (2 children)

It was the former. I had a bizarre, slightly yet constantly irritating shopping trip. I thought the cart was funny. Then handicap ramp man. What I didn't post about is how people kept walking in front of me, forcing me to jerk my shopping cart to a halt, and how a major supermarket lost all of their macaroni and cheese. They recently had a remodel and three employees and I couldn't find it anywhere. It was a weird trip.

Well we're all benefitting from it by sharing in your mild infuriation. Thank you for your service.

“Eh close enough” and “they have workers to do this.”

~ them, probably

[–] [email protected] -2 points 11 months ago

"job creation" they would say as they throw their receipt on the ground before leaving...

[–] BassaForte 8 points 11 months ago

No pass. It technically IS blocking a walkway, the path next to the corral. Though I guess you could push it but the problem is that other lazy bones will pile carts up there until it causes even more blockage.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

It’s possible you’d risk an aneurysm in our Walmart parking lot.

[–] ImminentOrbit 5 points 11 months ago

What's annoying about this layout is that it is only one-sided. It looks like they approached from the back of the corral and then decided good enough. I'd say this is a failure of the parking lot design.

[–] wallybeavis 3 points 11 months ago

So close. It's like they knew they had to do something, just not exactly what

It's not in the walkway or middle of the lot so I think he passes too.
