I have a hard time even putting well wrapped up grocery products in the seat area. I keep thinking about all those little leaky butts that have sat there and just can't do it.  |

 Not sure I am happy that I will now think of that from now on.

See, one of you is trying to help me get past it... and the other is reinforcing my phobia. So what's a girl to do?

Ugg! I hate seeing someone's nasty trash, used smelly food bag or their kleenex or kids diapers (I kid you not). And usually the Sam's person is just standing there and maybe will point at the trash can. Um, no thanks. I'm not touching. I will get a different cart!

Ugg, I just saw the posts on page 2. Crap. I might have to start using one of the hand-held baskets more often. Yuck!

I think the cup holders are in a weird spot. Safeway's cup holders are at the front of the cart. Why? Shouldn't they be around the handle area. You know, where the person pushing the cart is? Unless I'm the only one out there without Mr. Gadget arms.
I hate getting carts at Costco when there is a ton of samples. Their carts are always full of sample trash. Yuck.
I agree that whoever is retrieving the carts from the parking lot should be responsible for getting the trash out.

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 have never seen a cart with a cup holder. Agree with you though, take your cup with you. |

Our HEB has carts with cup holders, which is awesome, because I always stop at the cafe for a big cup of coffee before I do my shopping. After I use the disinfectant wipes on the handle, seat area and cup holder, of course.  Carts with other people's trash in them are one of my pet peeves. |

See, one of you is trying to help me get past it... and the other is reinforcing my phobia. So what's a girl to do? Get a hand held basket. Put it in the child seat. Put your groceries in the basket. Serves a double purpose: no leaky butt thoughts and when you get to the register you just set the hand held basket on the conveyor belt as opposed to unloading all your groceries from your cart to the belt. When I shop I get two hand held baskets. One for the seat and one for the big part. Then when I get to the conveyor belt I only have two things to unload from my cart. Saves time, energy, and effort and allows me to keep everything contained and organized. |

I agree. Anything you put into the cart you should take out of the cart. Easy peasy, people. |

I actually witnessed a woman, get a cart, go to her car and proceed to fill her cart up with bricks and rocks from her home. She then pulled the cart over to a parking spot and then grabbed a new cart and went in the store. Really, you couldn't just throw your things at home, so you thought the grocery store should take care of it for you?

Here, Wegmans has carts with cup holders. Some have spots for flower bouquets, too.
And where they sell coffee and tea they have cup holders that can be stuck onto your cart in case you have a cart without a holder.

The Peas must have rubbed off my my grand kids. If they see a cart in the parking lot, they want to bring it into the store and or put it into the corral. Or they will get the trash out of it and throw it away. LOL!! Oh, DD always has hand gel for them when they do this. My DGS is only 5 and will put carts away in the store if he sees one. He is somewhat OCD already.

No cupholders here either but I've had my share of used tissues-ewww. People should just clear away their own trash.
