WEST END ATLANTA

I stopped and took a picture of a pickup truck with 2 shopping carts on the back. The carts were on top of a bunch of scrap metal. As I was taking the pic the driver got out and asked me what the problem was and I told him. The carts cost about 200 a piece. I told him this and told him that Kroger doesnt pay for the carts, the customers pay for the carts with the increase in food prices at the store. Well any way he ended giving me the 2 brand new carts and I brought them back to kroger. By the way, his rational was that he was cleaning up the neighborhood because they were lying around. I talked to the Manager and he was very appreciative of my effort but warned me not to do that again. He would like to know where other carts are in the neighborhood. He told me the same thing that Debbie did. They bought 200 carts recently and they had lost about 80.
I followed a beat up pick up truck 2 days ago and took down his license number. He was stopped and he asked me what the deal was and I told him. He said that he was collecting them for another store across town. This made no sense to me. He had 2 carts from kroger and 1 from family dollar. If you see any truck with carts in them call 911 or take a picture of these scum that are driving up our food prices at the store.
As for the depression, the only depression in this country is the hard working folks that are getting their homes and apts broken into by the juveniles and long term homeless bums. Yes there are a few burglaries committed by other groups of folks. As for a recession, recession is defined by 2 consecutive quarters of decrease in gross domestic product. That has not happened yet. I would stop listening to the fear mongering far left and realize that they are scaring the easily scared so that they will vote for "change". I will also caution you that the news media that you are getting your bs from are almost all left leaning. I have never been busier and my problem is getting respectible, non felon, no tattoos on the necks, driving , got to leave because I have to get my kid from daycare at 1 in the after noon, sorry I am late because I over slept, can you bring me home because I have to go to probation etc. etc. These are actual things that i have dealt with in the past and some I have dealt with recently.
Stop worring about what others are saying and live your life below your means and life will be great.

Whew! That was a mouthful....hope you feel better now that you have gotten all of that off your chest. BTW, thanks for the info on the carts, I will keep an eye out.
