Did either one hit your Mini? I hate lazy people who can't walk their cart back to the buggy corral.

Yep shopping at Publix cause it is about 1 1/2 miles away from my house. No thankfully neither of them hit the MINI cause I saw the one lady put it there and I would have reemed her a new one.

Yeah the commercial is funny but it looks like you got very lucky. I am always nervous when I park in one of the lots with steep slopes because the carts can really get some speed up and its amazing how often I see someone unload then just let the cart go rolling away as they drive off. Bad thoughts occur.

In a Land.....far, far away.

That's where we park too, and at a 45 degree angle taking up two spaces....
