Fucking SAME! It is the best part of the job. I hated people putting the carts back. Take it! Take it as far as you can! I will milk that hunt for another 5/10 minutes of not being inside bagging groceries.

Brother in carts 💪

All the people here saying "you're creating work over overworked employees" has clearly never worked in a grocery. You're creating breaks. The only exception is people who left them out at close time when you're all going home. Those people can burn.

I'm with y'all there. On top of dealing with customers, it was pretty gross work: dumping the sticky bins when the bottle return was full; Mopping up messes; Emptying trash and throwing it in the compactor. Weather permitting, carts were definitely the easiest.

Going for stray carts at the outer edges = quiet walk without any customers or managers.
