walmart must be cutting corners

No shopping hand baskets at one of their stores. I asked a couple employees why there were no hand baskets and neither could answer me.

I've never heard of a store with no shopping baskets. Really strange.

.

 

a lot of the stores here stopped offering the carry ones here too and when i ask they always blame theft..saying the customers walk away with them

I have a few dozen of the plastic ones I bought at the dump one day for like a dollar...theyre handy for keeping parts organized on my shelves

 

They could put those magnetic strips on them to set off the alarm when people walk off with them. It could even be embedded within the basket.

.

 

people would peel them off

 

See my previous post.

.

 

I tried bringing in my own netted bag and my own basket once and they got upset about that, insinuating that I was trying to steal stuff.

.

 

...and this is actually surprising or noteworthy enough to merit a thread?

 

Nope.

.

 

i didn't think so.

 

Think I'll weave my hair into the shape of a basket and put all my merchandise in it.

Wonder what Dieter Jeeter the Walmart Greeter will say about that.

.

 

Why don't they fire the useless greeter. What a waste of money. They could buy a thousand baskets a month with what they're paying someone like that.

.

 

I take them baskets home, make pellet fuel out of them.. hahah.. nanannan nanh..

 

I'll get you for that, Orison.



.

 

but then who would leave carts in the way and block the entrance everytime they need to put a shoplifting preventing paper tag on every kids packsack and other shoppers shopping bags?

 

its free gas.. you should of caught on that, long time ago.. you can still get some milk crates..

 

You sound much like a walmart employee.

.

 

no..but I do shop there...and if they put a fucking cart in my path as I walk in they better stand clear..I can't stand that..If I want a cart Ill grab a damn cart

 

It's probably a ploy to get us to buy more if we are pushing a great big cart.

.

 

Maybe it's a marketing ploy to make you buy more. The grocer who invented the shopping cart did it so people would buy more than they could carry in a hand basket. It was only a matter of time, I guess.

 

It is a marketing ploy targeted at shopaholic women who just can’t stop shopping until the cart is full
