DEL.ICIO.USA season of giving and receiving
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
During this holiday season of giving and receiving I’d like all of you to take the time to give to the often-forgotten shopping-cart person.
He/she is the one that takes the time (when you don’t) to gather the shopping carts from what sometimes seems like miles away.
On a regular basis I see these poor folks scurrying about, sometimes in the rain and cold, trying their best to gather all the orphaned-carts that are cast to the ends of the lot. I’ve seen it at Walmart, Kroger, Publix and Target. And if you tell me “that’s what they’re paid to do,” I’d say “you’re right.” But would it hurt to help someone out? Could you take that extra two minutes to put the cart in the coral where it belongs?
What I find really irritating is when someone leaves the cart in a parking space when the cart coral is literally a parking space away! So if you think this is the season of giving a little extra, practice a random act of kindness by putting the cart where it belongs.
