Why is it thAt they are the most difficult and unfriendly shoppers to deal with? They're lazy personalities reflect why 99%. Of the, are riding on a cart to go to the grocery store...
You don't know someone's circumstances though. People can look healthy on the outside and still have a reason to need the cart.
That being said, they need to attach flags to the back. In the deli with our high counters we don't even know they're waiting in line 90% of the time unless there's another customer standing there and we spot them while we're waiting on the other customer.
I mean the ones who are super obese though. Unless there is a medical reason, wouldn't it benefit them to walk around the store, no matter how slow?
I do agree on having flags though. They are easy to miss for that reason, and then they get snippy when they don't get service fast enough. Our counters are tall, and I'm not exactly 7 feet tall. xD

Well you do know someone's circumstances when two customers who have came in multiple times on foot both ride in on the carts. You then see multiple customers coming to the front counter to complain that the customers are proceeding to ram into one another (like they are playing bumper cars) on aisle 5. They then get off the carts in the middle of the store, leave them there, check out in u-scan, and walk out of the store. Now those are pieces of sh!t.
My dad comes in the store on foot, and sometimes had to ride the carts. Sometimes they aren't enough to go around.
See that is understandable. But when two people use the carts just to play bumper cars in aisle 5, you really begin to question it. I completely understand if someone needs a electric cart; More the power to you. I have family members who come in sometimes and need to use the carts, and other times they are fine walking. But if you're just gonna be an ass and act like the carts are toys, you don't deserve to use them. Just my opinion, though.
We have a man that comes in all the time and gets the cart tangled up on the rubber mats in produce, then screams for help. We free him and he does it again 3 minutes later! He's always loud, rude, in a bad mood, every single time he comes in. And he ALWAYS pees on the cart. ALWAYS!! I swear I think he does it on purpose. When he parks up close in the handicap space, he tells someone outside (anyone he finds) to go into the store and tell us to bring him a cart outside to his car.

Been dealing with a piece of dreck just like this for many years. Guy's on an oxygen tank from all the Marlboros he power sucked for 40 years; literally helped kill his wife and their 20-plus cats with all his smoke. Now, he's in our store 4--6 days a week, always on the cart, ALWAYS rude and loud and demanding. He'll throw fits if we're out of raspberries.
And yeah, he'll call the store from the handicapped slot for someone to bring him a motor cart. Prick.
We have clowns who do the same thing and when the handicap people come in they do not have carts because of these idiots either still running around on them or left them dead. It is sad I have seen a man literally sit at the computer waiting for his family to get done shopping because he cant walk..

The old Head Dairy Clerk in my store told a kid to get off the scooter because he didn't need it. The kid claimed he needed one because his shoulder hurt.
We have a family of trailer-trash who all swarm the carts and a morbidly obese lady who lets her younger daughter ride another one around because its "fun". This is the future America and it scares me. What really grinds my gears is when the elderly or the disabled vets cant get them because the first of the monthers are all on them.
Often obese people can't walk much due to arthritis, very weak knees or other underlying issues. I've yet to see someone riding one that didn't look like they needed it, unless it's someone bringing it back into the store.
Sounds like you guys need a course in human compassion. Maybe the guy is acting that way because his wife died and he's knows here will too, because he does keep getting stuck and your store has done nothing to fix the problem, because he is embarrassed that he can't control his bladder... have compassion and talk to the guy, maybe he will start being nicer too.
