[Deleted member 526]

are you guys making a lot of money today? because I'm still PE $0.00. not sure if lazy or if it's slow.

One day I want to go visit the locked rooms where they keep all my survey data for 3 years. But I won't be able to access the room, because only the researchers have the key.

LOL! My graduate research is locked up. In my garage. In a box, behind the bins filled with baby clothes I'm saving.

But I did separate the informed consent from the surveys, so no one can be identified by their answers!

 

[Squatty]

They get really pissy about that.

Or so I hear.

Haha.

One of the Walmarts I worked at was in a lower income neighborhood. A lot of people would walk to the store, if I saw them walking off the property with the carts, I would just ask them to bring them back when they come back.
Also once a month, we would get in managers truck and drive around grabbing all of the carts.

I want my own shopping cart

Many stores sell them for 25¢

Why not both?

I really only had one manager lady get pissy about it. It's probably because I asked for permission to borrow it instead of just stealing it.

They are pretty expensive. Last time I ordered them, they were $500 each. But they are supposed to last for 5 years.

Wow, I didn't know they were that expensive, but I guess it makes sense.

I still think she was meaner than she had to be, but people did steal the carts all the time, so she probably was just tired of it.

The long thing is about 40 minutes or so...did it last night. Not too turrible just sorta boring.

 

[Jharkan]

there's no reason for a cart to cost that much. it's a cage on wheels.
I'm aware that they DO typically cost stores comparable amounts
(8 years ago at sears I bought 200 of them for $350 each, and then they abandoned using carts anyway)

I used to see these pickup trucks that would go around collecting stray shopping carts, but ever since stores have installed those magnetic strips that lock the wheels of the shopping carts, I don't see them anymore.

I wonder what happened to all those pickup truck drivers, I wonder what they're going around collecting these days.

I think Angela Listy is working on that.

I'm really interested to see how my appetite for Sprite, sexual history in high school, and favorite sport correlates with my choice of bathroom tile.

One of the stores around here used to give a reward if you alerted them to the location of one of their wayward carts.

Guess why that didn't last long?

Just woke up after missing my alarm clock.

How's the day been?

So I'm confused - I did this, and I DID see a link in it but were we supposed to follow that link RIGHT NOW? I mean, the HIT was 5 minute timer. Did I screw myself out of a decent $$?

Lie to me and tell me I didn't miss much while running my errands...
