Shopping cart taken.

If I were to mistakenly taken a cart then I would have apologized and told the person to whom I took it from I wasn't sure, but didn't think anyone was using it. I was taught better then to scoff or anything like that!

That was very rude. They should have at least offered it back to you when you confronted them about it. She has no respect.

That was very mean of that young woman...and not too surprising during this time of year. People are only going to get meaner the closer we get to Christmas so I guess you might want to make sure someone watches your carts at all times...especially at Big Lots. And I know what you mean about how narrow those aisles are.

That happened to me in the supermarket. I had items in my cart and was waiting at the deli counter for my orders to be filled. When I was finished, I turned to put the stuff in my cart and it was gone. That made me mad, because I had to go and get the items that I had already gotten again.
What had happened I think, someone thought they were taking their cart, but instead took mine, because there was a cart left there with no one claiming it.
Actually, if they did not notice they had the wrong cart, I am sure they were disappointed when they discovered that they had items other than what they wanted in the cart.
That women was just too lazy to get a cart of her own, and grabbed the first one she saw, even though there were items already in it.

It is obvious to me as your items were just sitting on the shelf as she was walking away with your cart that she took it. She is a terrible liar. If you're going to lie, at least make it a good one and make it look like you didn't remove the items.

I don't get people today anyway. Why would you just take someone else's cart when there is stuff in it and they obviously are right around the corner looking at something. People have no respect anymore.

That was rude of her. I have had my cart taken accidently before. I have also taken someone elses cart accidently. I would never just take a cart like that and take the stuff out of it, that is just rude.

That was inexcusably rude of her. I had people take my cart before, with the stuff still in it. I just noticed that it was suddenly gone, stuff still in, just three or four small items. So, I had to start over just to see those people two aisles further with the cart and one bigger item in it on top of my stuff. Happened to me twice.

I didn't say anything because I have run off with a cart before that I thought was mine, but had noticed it before I reached the end of the aisle. Stuff like that can happen, especially when it is crowded.

However, in your case it seemed that she thought the cart had been abandoned. She took out the stuff and made it hers. Then she didn't want to own up to her mistake. I think you would have understood, if she would have explained that. Some people do leave the cart somewhere in the middle of the store, with stuff in it, and simply leave. Well, what goes around comes around. Karma will get to her eventually;)

Yes I agree she was very rude about it.
She didn't even want to confess about making a mistake.

First of all deebomb, let me chastise you...you are NOT an old woman, you are mature and deserve the respect, that you and I were taught, when we were young! We were raised with a whole different set of principles.....and I still don't know why some of our generation did NOT pass this respect/principles on to their offspring!

I am not painting the entire younger generations with the same brush, but I do find that a "me/mine" attitude is very prevalent! Sort of "all for me, at all costs," type of personna!

I am so sorry this happened to you..and it goes beyond rude! Please have a good weekend...!

I see that happening a lot and really don't understand why. It's not like there aren't enough empty carts in the stores. That just shows a person that on top of being lazy is also selfish.
That said I have often taken a shopping cart and start going away with it, when someone calls me and tells me it's theirs. WHen I look I realize that I was not paying attention and that my cart is somewhere else LOL Of course I give the other one back and apologize LOL
