Oh I'm sure your dignity is still there...I was just hoping to see 2 gorgeous ladies struggling with the cart!! lol  ;-)

Taylor Morgan is basically the nicest person ever, since I don't have a car she was kind enough to come help me do some shopping for my new incall apartment last week. We go to this huge shopping plaza with a bunch of stores, come out of one with our shopping cart and begin to make our way to the car. Suddenly, the cart completely stops moving, there is some mechanism that locks the wheels when it hits a certain point in the parking lot to deter the many people trying to profit from the thriving grocery cart black market. The brilliant parking lot designer decided to place the rig for this little trick right in the middle of a four way intersection. So there we are, stuck in the middle of the busiest part of the parking lot, holding up traffic with a full cart that won't budge. Now Taylor and myself are not the largest nor strongest of women, so lugging that cart the ten or so feet to the curb away from traffic was a Herculean feat I'm still not entirely sure how we accomplished. But we managed and only sustained a little damage to our pride in the process, I can only imagine how ridiculous we looked to the drivers and onlookers. Safe shopping everyone!

Taylor and I have an image to uphold as proper, dignified young ladies  at all times :p

I'd like to thank the two passerby's that saw us struggling with the cart  who stopped to let us know that the carts lock

Many thanks to the nice and bewilded store personal who educated us on shopping cart security. We are forever in your debt.

Good lord - has our society fallen that far?  That we actually need to install anti theft devices on our shopping carts now?  I think it's time to pack it in people.  We gave this civilized society thing a good try but it's obvious that we weren't cut out for it.

On the bright side I can now role play my new alter ego - the Shopping Cart Avenger!  Who appears in the nick of time to rescue fair damsels when their carts refuse to budge.  I would gladly help carry their purchases to their cars.  For the good of humanity...  And to hopefully get their phone numbers.  For the good of humanity of course.

I'm nothing if not altruistic.

Wait - the shopping cart hotline is ringing!  Damsels are in distress!  Hopefully really hot and appreciative ones.  Gotta go - duty calls!
