RE: Wobbly Grocery Carts

in #life7 years ago

Oh dear hahaha - I love your stories; those topics are so special haha. Lit bro! ;D

But you are right, wobbly carts sure are annoying.
I always try to find the "sweet spot" (lol) and then to roll through the supermarket without hitting any people or shelves - would be ideal haha.
It often does look stupid but Idgaf. ;P


It's kind of futile tho, I don't really know what I'm looking for. Even if the cart is bent or beat up, it's probably just prejudiced to think this has a lot to do with the possibility that the wheels won't still drive fine. (Arguably it's even more likely to drive okay, since it looks like this and they're deciding to keep it in the rotation.)

So true!


Today I realized I should look at the handle!! Just pick the least worn out handle, and in general I should be picking the younger carts, which should be less likely to wobble.

Seems legit. But I still think that you need a bit luck too haha.


I probably override the blueprint when I see an old lady, tho. Especially if they're standing firm like they mean business. Most of them are fine, there's just some non-zero chance that they write a check.

Hahahaha, laughed so hard. Always avoid old people - moreover the non stressed, unhurriedly, way too chilled grannies :D
They will highly probable need one hour. At least...

Cheers man!

Ya, definitely! There's only a really loose correlation. But still no reason I can see to favor the less new looking handle over the new looking one, so I have a clean way to make the decision now. 😃

Ya they can become chatty cathies really quick if the cashier plays back a little.

Bless their heart. Fumbling for exact change or struggling with the debit card reader can happen too. There's just a lot that can go wrong, by any payment method.

Alright, that is what I thought. That is true haha.

Hahaha, oh, that is horrible haha - these chats and the card reader problem.

ya! my big dream is a technology t hat tracks how fast you are, and your stuff costs a few cents more or a few cents less based on that. (how fast customers execute their payment IS an economic consideration that affects others, and so it seems a proper alignment of interests that some savings would be passed back to you).

maybe there can be a way to forgive older people, like charities that give back for the few cents they lose, hehe

Haha, that could be terrible. :D Everybody could be in a hurry and people bump into others and maybe even start to fight or whatever haha. Chaos situation incoming - but maybe you have a proper solution for that too. But I know what you mean. ;D
Funny idea though, could work, somehow, I guess/hope.

Ya I have the solution for that in mind too! There are other metrics, like bumping into people and spilling things would dock you points too.

I think ratings systems will evolve to basically just encourage good and polite behavior, there'd be some cost to being out of control too. People would zing you for bumping into them, so it wouldn't be worth the tiny bit of speed increase.

It could even be the kind of thing where it's like, there's no incentive to be LIGHTNING fast.. being "fast" and "as fast as humanly possible" could give the same rewards, so that people aren't encouraged to be out of control, just to be on the ball and not wasting time needlessly.

OKay haha. I cannot imagine that right now but maybe it does work somehow.

Could be true, I agree with you. But I still do not know how this would work out - too sketchy.

Haha. Well it's kind of like...

judging people like "oh that person sucks" or "is a nuisance" or whatever is something we do anyways. so basically all that needs to happen is technology, an algorithm or whatever, just needs to approximate what we're already doing.

there's already a social cost to being a nuisance -- the technology would just neatly track it, and allow everyone to quickly be able to see how you're viewed by others

I know what you mean but I just cannot think of it to become reality right now haha. Maybe in the future - seems possible but I do not know the solution, at least I cannot imagine haha.
However, your points seem pretty logical.
