MATH: HOW MUCH TIME DOES IT TAKE THE GROCERY STORE ASSOCIATES TO RECOVER ALL THE SHOPPING CARTS FROM ALL THE APARTMENT COMPLEXES?

Well, I have walked many times when I had a car, and it was broken down. I have walked when my cars were not broken down. After moving here to Abq,I did not have a car for a couple of months. I walked with the laundry detergent in one hand and my dirty clothes in a trash bag in the other hand to the local laundry mat up the street. I shopped at the grocery stores up the street. I pushed the cart to the end of the parking lot, and I left it there. I asked the cashier to put as much in one bag as possible because I was walking. That day I was shopping after work at the Supercenter, I asked the cashier to put as much in one bag as possible because I was on the bus. I took the cart to the end of the parking lot, waited for the bus, and rode home with "100" grocery bags! For that matter, when I first moved out at age 21/22, I would walk way down to the grocery store, come by the retail store and get personal items, and keep walking home with "100" bags. I did not take the store shopping cart home. I rode the city bus to school, and I took a cab to and from work.

If no mistake, yesterday, or the day before, I say one grocery store associate with several rows of carts on the back of his truck. One night, I was coming in late, and I saw the grocery store associate rounding up the carts! There are carts in this apartment complex and the one across the street. Can you imagine how many are in the apartment complexes around the corner?
