| The Secret Lives of Shopping Carts... |
| Have you ever gotten the shopping cart with the bum wheel? Something sticky on the handle? Do you know where your shopping cart has been? All over town, that's where! |
| These carts were outside the Crystal Motel. These carts are from Walmart, Raley's, Grocery Outlet, and Food Maxx. I'm glad to see that someone shops in a variety of supermarkets. We should support all Red Bluff businesses. |
| These are down by Brearcliffe Avenue. Here's a theory...maybe the stores park them all over town. It's free advertising. |
| The one below wasn't even pushed up onto the sidewalk when it was abandoned. |
Who was doing this to our town? I wanted to help Red Bluff be beautiful again and so I decided to make a complaint to the Chamber of Commerce. I thought that the Chamber members might have something to say about the overrun of shopping carts we are seeing all over town. They would have the power to stop this. Surely they would be alarmed and take some action. Imagine my shock when I pulled up to the building and saw this... |
| The store will probably find this, bring it back, and we'll never know. I'll just be irritated when my cart wheel squeaks all through the store. These carts weren't meant to be pushed down the streets. That's why I suggest bumper stickers for these reading, "Not intended for off road use." |
| I give up! |

| Travelodge has their own shopping cart... |

| This one was left in our neighbor's yard... and not by our neighbor! When I saw that the shopping cart overpopulation was hitting so close to home, I realized that I needed to do something about it. |
