Some People


I love my local Tar-jay, and generally like to think that the people who frequent there are a tad classier than the regulars at Wally World (if you've ever been here you'll understand what I mean). But sometimes, people amaze me, no matter who they are or where they shop. I pulled into Target on a fairly busy afternoon, and to my amazement find that the spot across the aisle from me is being occupied by a shopping cart. Now, I like to believe that the cart blew into the spot (you can see the cart corral just across the way) and that someone wasn't so lazy that they just left it there, but there's no way of knowing. But I do know that while I was sitting there, a handful of people walked and drove by (a few even making sure to swerve around the cart so they didn't hit it), and no one did anything about it. Blew my mind. It was a perfectly nice day, the cart corral was a mere fifteen feet away, and no one was moving it. So I did. I was secretly hoping that it was going to be one of those secret camera shows and I'd get some big award and acknowledgment for doing a selfless good deed, but no such luck. No matter though, I still felt pretty good about recognizing an issue and stepping up to fix it (clearly, because I felt the need to blog about it). Moving a shopping is a big deal, after all :-)
