I guess thats better than the night my 4 yr old daughter and I had a toilet paper roll fight at fresh and easy.

In my defense, we didn't make a mess, and the store was pretty empty. Also my wife dragged me there, so it's her fault.

PS. daughter normally shops with mommy, and isn't allowed to move a foot from the cart. or touch anything. poor kid.

Pushing your own cart will be banned soon. It's for your own good. Don't worry, the licensed professional pushers will not be too expensive. You won't be able to afford a cart full of food unless you can afford to pay the pusher anyway.

Your assuming we can afford a full cart now. I remember filling the cart for $70-75, now that get's you 4 bags full if you're lucky.

Nothing like leaving the store after a quick stop for "a few things" staring at the receipt and shaking your head wondering where $80 bucks worth of stuff came from

I was riding a shopping cart across a grocery store parking lot once like a scooter. Hanging on the bar and pushing with one foot, while the other was on the bottom bar. Long story short is; I hit a pothole, flew into the handle bar and basically bit the handlebar.... Broke off two teeth and bloodied my mouth.... not a pleasant experience.

My parents could have sued the store for the crappy parking lot, but didn't and we moved on and got my teeth "fixed'. I guess stores now days don't want to have injuries from employees or customers is why she might have said that.
Where I work people always claim to have tripped or fell or hit thier head on stuff to try and collect a check....... then we show them the video and the story changes drastically. But there are at times legitament claims.. Those claims make prices higher in stores to pay the claims off and makes it harder for employees to catch a decent raise if they pay out alot in injury claims.

Next time I go to the Grocery store I'm just going to put my son in a helmet and knee / elbow pads and just fly around the store crashing into everything.

My kids sometimes sit in the cart or ride in front or back. If they got hurt I consider that our fault and not the stores. I wouldn't even consider sueing.
Our oldest broke her arm at an amusement park a few years ago. She fell out of the stroller when she stood up. Never once would have thought the park would be at any fault. We took complete responsibility for it.
