Reply #51: Or off the side of the cart, but you get the idea [View All]

My personal favorite: kid hanging off the front, kid hanging off one side, kid hanging off the back between mom's hands, dad throwing ten bags of concrete (80 pounds per bag) into the cart.

I always go up to 'em and tell 'em "look, don't put this concrete in your cart because the cart can't handle the weight. I have the exact same thing outside right beside the door, all you have to do is tell the cashier how many bags you want, drive under the roof outside, hand your receipt to the lot guy and we'll put the concrete in your car. You don't have to handle it at all." (Eventually you learn which customers you can ask to get their kids off the cart. If a customer is 5 feet tall and has 6 foot long arms, save your breath.)

Now, this is how to tell the Democrats, Republicans and freepers apart. If you approach someone who is loading his/her first bag of concrete into the cart, and you tell them you have concrete right outside the door and we can ring it up through the computer because the price is in the machine...

A Democrat will thank you and go to the cashier
A Republican will continue to load concrete into the cart
And a freeper will tell you to load the concrete into the cart--and then get pissed off when you escort them to the register to pay for the concrete. "But...how will the machine know what concrete you're buying? (It's a computer, dipshit. It knows everything.)
