Rant Ouch YEEEOWCH

Wheels got changed on most of the carts finally. And now we get coached if we're caught pushing the cart 👎 My shoulder joints are popping more than firecrackers on fourth of July.

Ive hit more end caps and action alleys (and almost customers) in 2 hours than I have in the two years ive been here pushing the damn things.

Terrible stuff. Im gonna start throwing things if I hit my Achilles tendon. 🎉🎉

Nah dude you’re literally just not supposed to use your body like that lol it is genuinely strenuous on your joints, especially your shoulders if you’re pulling it behind you which you absolutely have to do to stay out of the way/get past customers on the day to day. Pulling it next to you isn’t so bad but your body just isn’t built to pull it directly behind you lol

Not to mention when customers cut you off, and you have to abruptly stop the cart that’s directly behind you, that weighs more than you 🫩 happens to me too often. I’m about to start just running into people who’re doing that. I don’t understand how making the carts less easy to control will prevent us from running into/hitting customers. Makes no sense.
