You know those carts that sound like they’re dragging an anchor? Why is it always those that customers insist on using the entire time?
You’re right. The carts choose their person.
The louder the wheel, the faster they push it for some reason. Like speed will drown out the noise.
I’ve seen them run with those carts. Like bro, it’s not getting better.
There’s always that one cart that pulls HARD left and they just keep fighting it like it’ll magically fix itself.
Real talk, sometimes you gotta lean your whole body just to keep those things straight.
I had a customer who specifically said, “Oh, I like this one,” as the cart screamed its way across the store. Absolute chaos energy.
Some people just want to hear the soundtrack of retail suffering.
The ones with the square wheels are reserved for Saturdays.
Saturdays, holidays, or rain. That’s when the wheel screamers come out.
Meanwhile, I’m just happy when I get one that doesn’t lean like it’s trying to tip me over.
You know it’s bad when you can hear them coming from three aisles over.
That’s the Walmart symphony right there.
Why is it always me who gets asked to fix the jammed wheel with zero tools? Like what am I supposed to do, yell at it?
Pretty much the standard protocol. Shout, kick, hope for a miracle.
As the cart pusher, I can confirm we know exactly which ones are trash but somehow they always make it back into the line.
The circle of cart life. Respect.
