It's a Mexican Squash Chayote. My wife used it to make Tacos, mixed in with the ground beef, it's delicious.

When I grew up it was normal to return the carts to the store. It was also normal not to use bags. We simply put all the groceries back in the cart, then in the trunk and off we went. Not sure why everything has to be in bags nowadays. It feels weird when I forget my bags and do it the old way, like I'm robbing the place.

Anyway later people stopped returning carts and they became a liability in the parking lots, thus cart corrals or barter system. Also people started stealing carts, taking them home for convenience (living close to the supermarket) and dumping them instead of bringing them back. Actually in the student dorm I lived there were several shopping carts (from different stores) to use to get groceries or beer on foot. Buy a $200 shopping cart for a dollar....


A new low today, thought this was a thing of the past. Somebody thought it necessary to yell at me to "get off the road, fucking retard" for cycling by (overtaking) the cars stuck in a traffic jam (construction). There are a lot of those phase 2 "essential traffic" jams nowadays. So busy everywhere. Last time I went cycling I was forced into the grass by a Ford F150 overtaking a delivery van that was turning right, coming at me at about 90 kph on my side off the road with solid yellow line in a 60... So much for safer on rural roads.

SvennoJ move to europe, and you can still use the "old ways" without getting funny looks.
Like why wouldn't you use the cart to take things to your own car? obviously if you buy alot, its sensible to do so (or if your older or weaker).


Why would you just leave the cart there next to the car? its selfish and bound to annouy the next person that goes shopping, and wants to park around there? Or do the expect someone at the shop to go around rounding up carts constantly? and makeing sure they arn't a danger? Honestly its not like people cant take 1 minuet to bring back a cart, every other day or so when they go shopping. The stealing of carts.... is that common? what the hell does the avg person want with a shopping cart? Like.... I dont see the point.

Seriously move to denmark :) We are like one of the biggest cycling nations in the world.
Its quite common in bigger cities, you dont even own a car, you just cycle where you need, or walk if not to far (or use public transportation).
Simply because parking is such a issue, its often faster on a bike. If you live outsides the cities, almost everyone cycles (atleast the kids to school and such).
