If you are going to use the cup holder, throw your used cup away before you return your cart (or leave it in the lot, whatever)
Nobody wants to mess with your traah

I will second you on that one. I hate when I pull out a cart and it has someone else's garbage in it. Come on, throw your own garbage out. Why do you expect someone else to clean up after you.

Cup holders on carts? That is a new one to me. I do hate trying to find a cart without trash in it; some days it seems like half the carts have something left behind. IMO, if the customer leaves trash, the person collecting carts should empty it out. The next customer should not be left to deal with it.

I seem to always get the cart with the most trash in it. Just call me thrash attracter.

I agree with you. I dislike it when I pull out a carriage and there is trash in it from the previous user.

It's funny how things vary regionally and we never realize it. Yes, carts here have cupholders bc every store has a Starbucks and/or a snack bar inside of it. So people buy drinks and snacks while they shop.

I have always thought cup holders would be such a great idea but I have never seen it here. Nice to know it is not a totally far fetched idea. I usually do my groceries early on Sunday morning and would love not having to juggle my Timmies.

No cup holders here although I would love one. I hate having to make sure my cup doesn't fall over. Yes, I do take a drink in with me (not all the time) when I'm shopping, but I do make sure I do not leave any trash behind for the next customer. And yes, I also hate getting a basket with someone else's trash, ugh!

Heh-not Canadian, so this just sounded vaguely scandalous to me at first! We don't have cup holders in my area either. Still have to prop up the drinks in the kid seat.

Ugh, cart cooties. I frequently see a bunch of the papers from the pop up dispenser that you use to get individual pastry out of the display cases. You gotta wonder why people don't throw them in the trash that is right in front of the case.

Eta: I do however like to see other peoples grocery lists. Interesting to see what they buy. I glanced at this thread earlier and agreed about the rubbish in carts, but also thought about how (no matter how mundane they are) I ALWAYS have a read of the shopping lists!

I could swear one time I came upon a site where people sent in the grocery lists they found in carts, and then they were posted. Almost like Post Secret. I'm going to see if I can find it.

I think this is it. If it's not, it's very similar.

Is this our first shopping cart vent on this new forum?
I'm always fascinated by other people's shopping lists.

Where is this fancy place you live with cup holders on your carts? I call myself lucky if I can find a cart that doesn't bang or shake when I'm shopping. Cup holders! I'm jealous.

I agree, and the same with the store flyers that people leave in the cart. Maybe not disgusting, but messy just the same.

Cup holders would be great, especially for the stores like Target that have a Starbucks on site! I do try to empty all trash from my carts, but somethimes it is difficult to find a trash container. There should be at least one at every entrance/exit.

You would think people who use the germ wipes would be *clean* enough to throw them in the trash can by the dispenser. I am always seeing those used wipes in the cart.

Starbucks in our Target used to have plastic ones you can pick up and put on the cart.. of course that lasted six or eight months, as I am sure they disappeared. But otherwise I have not seen cup holders on carts.. just trash. And I think for now on I will start leaving my list in the cart on purpose since that seems to be fun.. haha

Our Target (aka Tarjaay lol) does not have cup holders yet has a starbucks. But our Albertson's has cup holders and a mini starbucks.
Both Albertson's and Stater Bros has newer, small 2 tier carts that are perfect for just picking up a few items but you don't want to haul a small basket.
