We live in the suburbs now. Tonight Amanda and I went to the grocery store. As I was parking the car I noticed that there are 3 cart double stalls on each side of each lain. They were placed every 3rd or 4th parking spot. Coming from the city I was baffled to see that many cart stalls, when in the city for a parking lot two to three times that size of the one we were in, there is usually at the most 3 cart stalls.

From what I have observed, there aren’t that many active shoppers, at any time, to justify the need for so many cart stalls. I don’t think that the store even has enough carts to fill those stalls. I guess Amanda was right when suggesting that the ‘burbs’ folk just don’t like to wall far. Plus in the city, the stores spend their money on buying the carts with the range-lockable wheels.

Following Woot. A whole day with some sweet deals.
