To recognize that we have been posting to this blog for 5 years, I am sharing the post I made on 9/1/2018 when we started this journey
CART RAGE
By Donna Hale Chandler
I think we would all benefit from some Grocery Cart Driver’s Training. Perhaps the following rules could be considered:
- Drive your cart on the right side of the aisle, just as you keep your car on the right side of the road (at least I hope you do). If you’re on the wrong side of the aisle and try to play ‘chicken’ with me, you will lose every time.
- Do not leave your cart alone, particularly if you’ve parked in slap dab in the middle of the aisle, while you go in search of an item. (My suggestion when you see an abandoned cart is to push it to the next aisle so the owner has to look for it.)
- If you are a senior citizen, as I am, do NOT shop on the week-end. This is when working mothers’ are trying to shop for their children’s lunch items. Seniors, we’ve got all week to grocery shop – stay home on Saturday.
- Ladies, leave the hubby home when you shop. Or at least confine him to the car to wait for you. Ask yourself, is he really helpful? Does he do anything other than push the cart –down the middle of the aisle, by the way – and stand in the way as you’re examining every ketchup bottle on the shelf? The line behind you is getting longer while hubby waits for permission for to move on.
- Keep your visits short when you run into your neighbor. Go home and chat with them. People are waiting to get past. Don’t pretend you don’t see them.
I’m sure the list of Rules for Grocery Cart Driving could be extensive. Do you have something that you would like to add to the list? Perhaps we can start up our own school.
P.S. During the Covid Pandemic, I began having groceries delivered. That was 2020. It is now 2023 and I still have gone into a grocery store. I strongly suggest delivery instead of Card Rage.
