This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Walmart carts are always shit because they use those power pushers to bring them in from the lot, which invariably tweaks the frame and wheel alignment.
I mean are you gonna go get the whole row yourself, especially when you need to get like fifty in the thing at a time?
I used to do carts at a Sam's Club. Tbh I kinda liked it; easy job, got me moving and outside, and we got free Gatorade and such (they provided water and sunscreen as well). On busy days that garage full of carts could be empty in minutes, so it was just a constant flow of bringing them back in when we were out.
Also I remember the time we got a whole shipment of brand new carts. That was an exciting day, even just bringing them out and around from the dock.
I did the same for Kroger, except we were given rope to tie them all together cause someone broke the cart thing
Why does it matter it a person pushes it or a machine?
With a power pusher, you don't get the feedback when something is binding, and the machine just keeps pushing. And you can push a huge line of carts, which causes a great amount of pressure on the ones closest to the pusher, because the load of all the carts ahead is carried on the ones behind.
