This week's rant

What's bothered me the most lately has been the grocery store.  Usually it's a place of refuge for me - for whatever reason, I find grocery shopping to be relaxing.  But something has completely baffled me for a little while now and I just can't figure it out...you know those smaller shopping carts some stores have now?  I love them.  LOVE THEM.  Just the perfect size for everything I need - and you don't have to worry about running into end caps or displays, or other shoppers, for that matter.  Well, it seems like every 3rd or 4th time I go to the grocery store (the ghetto Food Lion in Clayton), those small carts are there.  But the other times, they're nowhere to be found!  I go to both doors where they have carts lined up, and nothing.  No small blue carts to be found - but the next week there's 2 dozen all lined up in a row.  And then 2 weeks later, they're gone once again.  Where do they go?  No one else in the store has one - so where are they?  I went to the grocery store this morning, just for a few things - too much for a basket, but just enough for that small blue cart.  But there were none.  I know it's petty, but I never said my rants were going to be rational.  WTH?
