Will You Use a Shopping Cart (Trolley) That Has Trash In It? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 964 out of 37,964 in life3 years ago

When you begin shopping, as you choose your shopping buggy, if there is a bit of trash -- a list used by the previous owner, a tissue left behind, coupons, candy bar wrapper, a store advertisement, etc. -- will you use that shopping buggy, or will you bypass it in favor of another buggy?

What do you do and Why do you do what you do?

Also, if there is only one shopping buggy left, and it has a bit of refuse in it, will you use it or not?

I refer you to the answer I gave to your previous post regarding shopping carts,my wife would be the one to take this monumental decision regarding trash that might or might not be in it

Sounds like your wife makes all the important decisions in your marriage, jimbo.

I like them clean, trashed ones just wont do. I dont like taking seconds and refuse to use the ones with slops.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 964 out of 37,964 in life  3 years ago

I agree with you, Calais. There is a certain withdrawal that overcomes me when I think that I'm getting seconds. Sloppy indeed.

i dont know why though but if i do find a buggy with trash in it i dont use it.
i guess it is the thought of nasty trash in there and i dont want my food or clothes near it.i know that it sounds kinda corny though,but that's just me though through and through.
thanks for asking.

myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 964 out of 37,964 in life  3 years ago

It may sound corny, but I'm the same way. If there are no other buggies, or if the 'trashed' buggy is a really good driving one, I may remove the trash and place it elsewhere.

Thanks, jdw1971witch.:)

For me it depends on what type of refuse it is. If it's just a store ad or minor papers I might throw it out and use it. However if it's a lot of trash or disgusting trash I won't. If it's the last one and it's that nasty I'll wait. That or I'll start my shopping and hope to find an abandoned cart somewhere.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 964 out of 37,964 in life  3 years ago

This is how I do things, too, emeraldisle. I have found it interesting that the carts with a bit of trash in them are also the best driving carts. If it's just a store advertisement, I'll just remove them.


myLot reputation of 98/100. emeraldisle (8978)   ranked 5,605 out of 37,964 in life  3 years ago

Hehe you've noticed that as well? I think that's why they do it, so no one else will take it and it will be there when they come back; like it will still be there three days later?

If I see there is a little bit of trash, I usually put it in the next cart or take it to the trash can and I will use the shopping cart. If too much trash, I choose another shopping cart.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 964 out of 37,964 in life  3 years ago

I do the same thing, mimatexas. I don't think I've ever seen someone else do it, though.:)

I tend to overlook the carts with trash in it, if at all possible. I will usually just grab an empty cart. I will use a cart that has the sale fliers left in it, though. That doesn't much bother me. Sometimes, it gives me a good excuse to flip through and see about some good sales! LoL But garbage is just plain and simple -- disgusting!


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 964 out of 37,964 in life  3 years ago

I also will flip through the sales fliers that are left in the cart, kfrisk. Or at least I used to until the day I was flipping through one of those and I noticed that some pages were sticking together and upon further investigation discovered the cause of the stickiness was a booger. Gross.


myLot reputation of 99/100. kfrisk (2817)   ranked 164 out of 37,964 in life  3 years ago

Yeah my days of flipping through sales fliers would end after that experience, too! Lol ewww

Given a choice, I would not use one that has trash in it. However, most of the time, there is no choice as shopping carts are more or less "controlled" orderly. I would not want to meddle with the already ordered train of carts.

I would just leave the trash there and I make sure I do not put fresh produce at the bottom or have a bag to contain my items, if they are big enough:P


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 964 out of 37,964 in life  3 years ago

I also prefer a non-trashed buggy, whyaskq, but I do not mind removing a few carts to get to the one that I desire. Of course, I try to do this in an orderly fashion, and I do not leave the carts scattered willy nilly.

I have to say I hate it when I even have to see a bit of rubbish left in a trolly, especially if it is a piece of rotten food. most of the time I see a piece of old limp looking lettuce and for some reason this just makes me cringe away, I can not use that trolly. I dont really know why it is only a piece of lettuce but it ust looks gross and I dont want to have to pick it up to get it out of the trolly. A piece of paper like an old shopping list I cant say bothers me, but a tissue, eeew it might have boogers on it or god knows what else. I would not use a trolly with tissue in it. Now if there was only one trolly left and it had either a piece of old limp lettuce( or any other rotted looking food) or a tissue, I would not take it. I would use a basket until someone had finished with theirs. Trollies really should come with disposable handle covers too, I hate to think about what people wipe on them. I feel a little ill now.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 964 out of 37,964 in life  3 years ago

The disposable handle cover is an excellent idea, fawcey. Really. What a great idea.


myLot reputation of 98/100. fawcey (429)   ranked 989 out of 37,964 in life  3 years ago

mmmm do I sense a little sarcasm there Transdisc?


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 964 out of 37,964 in life  3 years ago

No sarcasm, fawcey. Really.
