Grocery Baskets Really?

I used then last time I moved house! It was so close that it wasn't worth hiring a truck. So it took a little time, but in a few trips everything was moved. It's really amazing how much weight those things can carry!

It's like that by my IL's house. They do their shopping at wal-mart or pick'n save then haul the cart across the street to the bus stop then ditch the carts there. Seems that happens alot in areas where people don't drive. Or are too lazy to buy one of those carts that fold up and you can sometiems hang off a grocery cart. I recall hubby used to say that that it was big business in AZ for a company to go out and pick up all the carts then charge the grocery stores for returning them!

Well I do not live near a store so I cannot say I would see it here, but since I also live in a City that would fine people for using a cart like this, it does not happen. I know there are smaller towns I have seen these at, or at Bus Stops, park n rides, etc. and it makes you wonder. But personally sometimes I think people just end up buying too much and do not have a Car so they consider using the cart to help get their stuff home never bothering to consider how the cart is ever going to get back to the store again.

I don't see it very often where I live. However, about 2 hours away we have basket central. All the bums live on the same block. So I call it basket central. I think they steal the dollar store or target carts because the fine for stealing is less if the item stolen is cheap. I can bet they wouldn't steal a cart from Norstroms. Of course, my guess is Norstroms wouldn't even let them in the building. Too snooty for bums. As for taking the basket all the way home. If they took the cart all the way home, it would be easier for the cops to find them. Now that I think about it, they should take the cart home, get arrest and thrown in jail. Then they would receive room and board at our expense. Best Wishes!
