21st century digital boy needed to ask for change at customer service :)

there would be riots here if they started charging for carts -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 12:56
(this post made perfect sense to me. I don't know what that says about me) -- nm - ty97 Nov 18, 12:29
and this week's Non Sequitur award goes to... - Reagen Nov 18, 12:24 4
- If I've truly won it that often, I ought to be disqualified for being too predictable. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 12:32 1
  - Can I win twice in one week? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 12:34
- I think: new car = new coin lying around -- nm - mud Nov 18, 12:26 1
  - NO coin -- nm - mud Nov 18, 12:27

- In some places it's common to have to insert a quarter to get your shopping cart. - ty97 Nov 18, 12:23 17
  - I also find it strange, but it's common about 50% of the time here, especially at places like Superstore and Safeway. - Beryllium Nov 18, 12:26
  - yeah but not sure what the car part has to do with it. -- nm - Spawn Nov 18, 12:25 5
    - Lots of people keep change in their car in ashtray area or console. -- nm - ty97 Nov 18, 12:28 1
      - Every Sunday I prep exactly 5 dollars in change for the car. -- nm - Spawn Nov 18, 12:52
    - everyone thinks it would be great to be married to Santa Claus... -- nm - Reagen Nov 18, 12:27
    - Cars collect things that are convenient. New cars don't come with small coin collections or tissue boxes. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 12:26
    - If you go to the grocery store without a car, you usually don't buy enough groceries to need a cart. -- nm - Dano Nov 18, 12:26
  - At an airport sure, but at a grocery store? That's ridiculous. -- nm - No. 1 Stephen in the nation! Nov 18, 12:25 9
    - places that charge for airport carts enrage me. I don't mind the security deposit, but paying for the privilege is annoying. - mafic Nov 18, 13:14
    - (you get it back. It's so they don't grow legs and wander off) -- nm - Reagen Nov 18, 12:26 7
      - 25 cents is a bargain price for buying a cart -- nm - ty97 Nov 18, 12:27 6
        
        It also keeps them from just being randomly left in the parking lot. -- nm - Reagen Nov 18, 12:28 1
        
        This too. They are like inanimate ne'er-do-wells. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 12:30
        
        My thought as well -- nm - Pippygalore Nov 18, 12:28 3
        
        There was one grocery store that had devices on the carts so if they were a certain distance from the store the wheels would lock. -- nm - Dano Nov 18, 12:29 2
        
        One of our stores here claims that. I haven't tested the theory -- nm - ty97 Nov 18, 12:30 1
        
        I never tested it either. I just saw the signs. -- nm - Dano Nov 18, 12:30
