This Woman Deserves A Medal For Bringing Her Shopping Cart Into The Cart Corral During A Goddamn Monsoon

I feel like shopping cart etiquette is one of the great unwritten rules of our society. If you steal a parking space from someone, you are an asshole. Same goes if you don’t say thank you to the cashier after you get your receipt. There is pretty much a right and a wrong for everything we do at the grocery store and in life. But I’m still not sure what the ruling is on if you put a shopping cart into a corral once you are done with it (for the record I never knew it was a corral until I saw this video. I just called them shopping cart holders). If I am within a couple of spaces to the corral, I will put the cart back. But if I’m not, I will likely put the cart up on the curb to ensure it doesn’t roll into someone else’s car or put it in a place where it will almost certainly not be able to do any damage, such as any checkered No Parking spots. I won’t leave it in the middle of a parking spot because I am not a savage. But I will make the Cart Guy earn his paycheck. And that’s on a sunny day.

But this old woman makes me look a fucking monster. Everyone knows that rain gets you wetter when you are loading and unloading groceries. That’s just science. However this saintly grandma trucked through a monsoon stronger than the one that put Bubba Gump on the shrimping throne just so she could safely return her cart. And she’s not even wearing any rain gear! Shorts, flip flops, and the no nonsense resolve of America’s Greatest Generation. True hero ball. I’m sitting here dry as a bone with nothing but my thoughts and even I can admit to myself that I wouldn’t have brought that cart back. To be honest, I probably would have put it on its side on the ground so it didn’t get taken by the 500 MPH winds and ram into another person’s car because I am a gentleman. But I definitely would not have risked being out in that typhoon for one second longer than I had to be. Hats off to you granny and thank you for your service.
