Yall, its happened, I've crossed the line...I've found a "thing" I can't let go and its ridiculous.

I'm telling yall now.....this will be something that will end up making me look totally insane unless someone does something to fix it.

I noticed this several months ago.    I go to Sam's Club and get a few bulk items from time to time.   While I'm in the area I get gas at the Sam's Club gas station.    Every time.....without fail.....I've seen them taking the garbage out of the gas station cans and putting it in a shopping cart.    Its not a "special" cart....not marked....and its been a different one every time I've seen it happen.    So, these nasty people are using the same carts that we put groceries in to empty the gas station garbage cans.

I've called three times and talked to the manager....each time, being told "they are going to fix this so it never happens again"......but here we are.....its still happening.

Its a crazy thing to be this TRIGGERED over something.....but its inexcusable to me.    I'm going total "Karen" over this mess.   (Karen, if you didn't know, is a name they are calling someone that complains to the manager over anything.)

    The first time I saw this happen what caught my eye was the guy walked all the way from the gas station.....pushing a cart full of garbage INTO the front doors of the Sams Club store.   I thought "that was nasty" and didn't jump into action over what I saw.     The second time I noticed it I actually saw a guy grab a random cart and start pulling the bags out of the cans......so I called the store and spoke with the manager.     He promised things would be done to fix this.    Then, a third time, I noticed a buggy down there with bags in it.....so I called again.   

    This store just got NEW buggies....and this is one of them in the picture with the bags in it.   

    I'm SO grossed out thinking about it.

    I saw a worker at Wendy’s take her bare hand and push the trash down in a small trash can behind the counter. Then she went back to fixing food. If I told that to my wife, she’d never eat at ANY Wendy’s again.

    I also see it and hate it.
    Another thing I see that just scares me is;  at walmarrt a person brings in an old dead car battery in a shopping cart.  Either down where you put your groceries or worst yet in the small seat where you set your baby/child.
    These batteries are nasty dirty, and dead for a reason, many leaking.

    Just call the health Dept. and file a complaint.

    They can afford and should have dedicated trash transports 
  • BrookwoodBrookwood Member, Moderator Posts: 13,768 ******
    It would be VERY easy to just dedicate a couple of carts just for that purpose and paint them red or yellow with a trash cart tag attached.  Simple fix done cheap.

    The very same carts we put babies with soiled diapers in, How Could They?!

    Not good, but if you don't wipe down any cart you use it could be worse.

    People are so dumb. I would keep complaining too.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    call corporate, it may not help but local management will get a butt chewing for it..........
  • allen griggsallen griggs Member Posts: 35,692 ✭✭✭✭
    The filthy swine!
    Seriously, that is some nasty stuff, a manager there deserves to be fired.
  • Ditch-RunnerDitch-Runner Member Posts: 25,375 ✭✭✭✭
     I agree with He dog 
     seeing and cant avoid the smell of some of the people who use the carts kids with loaded diapers dogs cats and every thing else loaded in a cart . a few bags of trash is not right at all but just the tip of a iceberg 
     I got to where I try to not watch the servers or habits of the restaurants we visit especially fast food    places . keeping clean seems to have fallen wayside 
  • bpostbpost Member Posts: 32,669 ✭✭✭✭
    I think it is reasonable to expect a store to keep garbage out of carts used by their customers for food items.  I never thought of the dirty diaper thing posted by He Dog, YUK.  Me thinks the best course for you and others is to stay on the store manager's butt until the practice stops!  One person doing the right things for the right reasons can make a world of difference to others.  I commend you for your perseverance in this issue.

    It's gross, but in all honestly, I am not sure that is any more disgusting than many of the Wal-Mart clientèle.

      by no means trying to defend them, but in todays work enviroment just getting an employee to empty the trash is a major accomplishment.............
