Re: Pet Peeve of the Day

Heres my newest pet peeve:
People Who Capitalize Every Word In The Sentence. (Usually On Other Message Boards).
Maybe People Get Annoyed When I Write Without Any Caps, But This Annoys Me Much More.
You Have To Wonder What School They Went To. Did A Teacher Never Correct Them Or Is This A New Thing Like AlTeRnAtInG CaPs Or Something?

The thing is, that sometimes people just leave it inbetween cars and sometimes in the driving path of cars.

It just boils my blood that I see people who can't walk the extra yard or so and place it safely into the bin.

When I go shopping, I always put the cart in the bin.

Okay, suddenly my job doesn't seem as bad. Thanks for putting it into perspective.

Actually, it wasnt too bad, a pack of us would go out, split up and comb the neighborhood. We'd figure out where they usually end up (by kukui towers, near apartment buildings, etc) If its hot out then, yeah it sucks.

15 years later I was a buyer for Longs Moilili, and its a 3 story building yeah? So sometimes many carts would end up on the 2nd floor, so we'd run a whole train of carts down the ramp, with 1 guy at the bottom fending off traffic, and at the bottom of the ramp your have to get off the train and shove the lead cart to the side so it wouldnt go off into the street. Really fun, but I'm suprised no one ever got hurt.

so long as its stowed safely.

Now that I think about it, we'd sometimes have to wander around the neighborhood looking for carts.

Re: Pet Peeve of the Day

Is there a rule that carts have to be returned to the corral? I think it'd be polite, but the carts are for convenience, and they could be left wherever, so long as its stowed safely. Taking them off the property is a no-no, those things arent cheap. I think its $150 each cart. The security guard is supposed to deter that. Plus managers go out and round up carts as they are spotted or called in.
Before you blow up, my first job was courtesy clerk at longs pali - and the job description includes rounding up stray carts. Later I worked as a clerk at a different Longs and yup, still had to round up carts.
