Shaken, not stirred.

We used to have a paramedic who was working at Meijer for reasons unknown to me. One day a kid fell out of a cart and hit his head on one of the rods sticking out of the turn-tables at the end of the lanes, and it punctured his eyelid. The guy got kinda pissed because the Team Leaders were handling the kid all wrong.

Fell out of the trolley? Rods? Turntables?!

1. If a kid is in a trolley, either they are strapped into the chair, else they ain't supposed to be in.

2. Rods? Bare rods? Sticking out?! WTF?!

3. Turntables? Can people not direct their own trolleys?

So the guy got pissed? His own fault for not keeping his kid in the trolley right.

Trolleys, hahahahhahahahaa.

I work in a hospital ER now. You wouldn't believe what I've seen there.

Have you seen... emergencies? And a room?

That's what it is. It ain't a "cart" it's a "Trolley".

1. People are idiots.

2. The bars are what we slide the grocery bags onto ON the turn-table.

3. Turn-tables are where the grocery's go at the end of the lane after we scan them. They also look roughly like the image attached. And the rods AREN'T that sharp.

In general, the kid was standing up in the cart (because his parents were indeed idiots), his older brother was playing around with the cart resulting in the cart tipping over, the kid then proceeded to fall out of the cart, thusly allowing him to fall into one of the rods on the turn-table, ending in said rod puncturing his eyelid.

And stop saying trolley. It sounds weird. Silly Euro.

But it IS a trolley.

Also, I see no image. I might Google it.

Why do you need turntables on the end of the till bit? We just have. The shopping slides down into these spaces and we bag it all.

I hope the kid's family was sued for being stupid.

The store was trying to make things more "efficient". Id est, harder for the cashiers and customers.

More efficient?! What's more efficient than a big open space? Oh! I know! A giant circle that spins and needs King Arthurs Round Table to hold it.

Stupid Shop owners. Bring back the Corner Shop I tells ya!

I blame Walmart.
