It's shameful how some people easily tire of old shopping carts and resort to abandoning them on the streets near Guadalupe Church. These poor four-wheeled creatures have to fend for themselves on the drab, apathetic environs of central Laredo where their only companion is loneliness.
Who could be so cold? I ask, do they not feel?

Hence disappointment's anxious eye,
And pining envy's lingering sigh,
Let sorrow from the brow be borne,
And every heart forget to mourn
I used to live a couple of blocks away from the HEB on Saunders.
They did have a professional cart recovery specialist for those neighborhood customers that would walk to the store and cart their groceries home and abandon the cart in the street.
It was some older guy in a pick-up truck that would cruise the neighborhoods picking up the strays.
That being said I saw a Phar-Mor cart the other day. Hasn't that chain been gone for more than a decade?
Pobre carritos
Oh gawd!!! A Phar-Mor flashback.
My subconscious just took a hit.
That place used to be where the Home Depot is now, correct?
I think I know the man you're talking about. He used to get paid 25 cents per cart, I think.
If I see carts around the Chacon area, I try to walk them back to the HEB. It's good exercise.

when I first moved to that apt. I used to do that, until the day I saw the cart dude - didn't want to cut in on his action.
Yes, Phar-mor was where Home Depot now is. (went broke in huge insider embezzlement scheme if I recall correctly)
I'm sure I filled out a couple of presciptions there.
We didn't have Walgreens, but we had Phar-Mor.

It's like this everywhere, people are lazy. Nothing new there. I've seen folks leave a cart in a parking spot right next to the return chute. Same at the food court at the mall, lazy &^$#&^* won't dump their garbage in the container 10 ft. from the table...the path of least resistance is alive and well.

haha, yeah - that's where I lived. Back then no action day nor night, just families with kids for the most part.
I hear you loud and clear, Marcus. It's almost a cascade of things in terms of apathy. I guess common sense isn't common anymore. As a previous blog post mentioned, we can't even recycle the right way!
