Are people really so tacky?
Okay so I just had to share this little tidbit - there I was on a shop where I had to go into a warehouse type place and observe the folks demonstrating inside - you know the ones with their little food samples. I walked back out to my car and since I was parked in the back of the lot took a moment to jot down some notes on my ever present clipboard. I was taking a short pause formulating my thoughts when I noted three women approaching with a shopping cart. They proceeded to load up all of the goodies they had purchased into their SUV that was parked nearby. All well and good, but when they were done unloading their purchases they then started to fill the shopping cart back up - with trash from their car! I just couldn’t believe my eyes that people could be so tacky as to treat a shopping cart as some kind of roving trash can. Needless to say it didn’t surprise me one bit when they just left said cart in the middle of the parking lot and didn’t even bother to push it the five feet into the cart return.
I don’t know why I keep being surprised by the new lows we seem to be hitting as a society, but it hits me anew at times like these.
