Ow, I want black ones too!

These are definitely finished. It’s just that the paint is an ugly yellow (or tan) color.

Where did your Safeway get the ugly colored mini carts? Ours are all shiny black and brand new looking. Those look like they pulled them off the line after the primer stage and skipped the finish coat or something.

It’s nothing personal, stores lose a lot to shoplifting that way.

The new supermarket just opened near us has wheeled baskets now – telescoping handles, like with luggage. I took a pic but deleted it after showing the wife, little suspecting that shopping tech would be the topic of that very day’s blog post…

Yes! I had that happen to me on Saturday. The checker actually came out and removed the cereal boxes I had in the bottom basket and put them on the check stand. Like I couldn’t be trusted to do that myself, especially since I had coupons for the cereal. I felt burned.

I agree that the mini carts are the best but the joy I have in them is offset by the checker walking clear around the check stand to peer under my cart like I am trying to smuggle out an undeclared watermellon or something. Couldn’t they just ask if there is anything on the bottom rack?

Sadly, MY Black Friday story has now hit 3 years of age and is thus too old to repeat yet again; I may indeed already have told it here on this blog at some stage in the past.

But it’s still probably the biggest stroke of consumer luck I’ve ever had, and I didn’t even have to wake up early or risk getting trampled to death or anything.
