You can bet those two little carts will vanish, stat. I just didn't want to be obvious about it tonight. Already spotted a dumpster behind the store on the walk out that the carts belong in.

You are quite right about the racecar ones. Also not only do they not nest (and can prevent other carts from nesting depending on where they are in the cart return) the plastic cabins where the kids sit is a perfect spot to hide almost any small shoplifted items you can think of. Plus they are a massive bitch and time sink to clean, so any crumbs, napkins, spilled juice etc. can get left in there for days, as often the cart people are too time strapped and busy (or are teenagers or lower fuctioning adults that often don't give a damn) to bother cleaning the cabins. The kids also like to climb on the outside of the cabins, so there is the risk of a child falling off as well thus adding lawsuit potential by a parent for the store.Quote

Everyone I know who works in a grocery store/other cart-using retail establishment HATES pretty much ALL types of "special" carts for moms and kids. The racecar ones don't nest and are more likely to cause obstructions because they're bigger. The little kiddie ones are invariably involved in the types of antics you described.
