I find it very strange

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

  - 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
