Yesterday I took a quick little trip to Ross. I had Ezra with me and he actually did pretty well. We had a typical shopping experience. After browsing around for 30 minutes or so, I took the cart up to the check out counter. Nothing abnormal there. The man was nice - chatted with me about the tornado warnings - I asked there return policy - paid and was done. So the sliding doors open wide, and I make an effort to push my cart with my 35 lb. (plus some) child, and two purchases through the door way. UGH..stuck. Ok, I didn't push hard enough ..this is a little embarrassing I thought. So I stuck my foot down on the bottom of the cart as I tried to push and lift it over whatever we had got caught on. No luck.. the cart didn't budge and it came back and hit my shin. Ouch. Right then the lady said in her southern drawl "Ma'am, the buggies don't go outside." I was struck by confusion. What?? Since when does a cart (known in the south as a BUUUUGIE) not go outside? It can't physically go outside or they don't want it out there?? She obviously saw my confusion and she continued "The wheels lock up." I don't have much to say except a very confused "WHAT????" Has anyone heard of this before.. because this is new to me.
