I appreciate the fact that Wal-Mart has those motorized carts available for the people with disabilities, I really do. In recent months, my hubby has been shopping with me on mornings, and he utilizes those carts when he comes with me. He needs one to get around such a large store.
We are early birds; we get up around 4 – 5 am every morning. We have a Wal-Mart that is open 24/7, so we try to get our shopping done really early in the morning before the crowds hit.
We were sorely disappointed yesterday when we arrived at our Wal-Mart around 7am and found that we could not even get to the motorized carts; they were blocked by one of those machines that they use in the parking lots to retrieve the regular shopping carts. It took me over ten minutes to find an employee that was willing to move that thing out of our way.
Once that was done, we found that only one of the motorized carts had been plugged in and charged overnight, and it was blocked in by all of the carts that had no charge at all and could not be moved easily. We could not find an employee to move the “dead” carts out of the way, so my hubby and I were forced to try to drag the “dead” carts by ourselves to get to the “live” cart.
Very frustrating, very disappointing.
