HEY SIR DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE-

No.  No I do not know where the woman's hosery is.  I push carts for a living and even though I stalk through the store mindlessly putting things back on the shelf as best as I can, I do not know where your off-the-wall item is.  I don't know where the water filters, tea candles, and baby clothes hangers are.  All I'm going to tell you is, "No, I don't know, but I can ask someone who does."  Please leave me out of the loop and skip right on over to the nice folks wearing khaki and with "Sales Associate" on their name badge.

Straight Lazy, Son.

There are few things that bother me about my job.  In fact, I actually enjoy most of the customers that come through.  They're from the nice part of town and generally make my job easier by putting the carts in the designated areas.  There are 8 of them in the lot, plus the cart area right in front of the store.  To the average customer, I pose this question; What is so hard about putting the carts back where you got them from?  Is it that hard to walk five steps to put it in the cart corral or take an extra second to push the cart back in line with the rest of them?  We do so many different things for you, have the carts lined up ready for you, make sure the store is nice and clean, and even have a greater right the fuck there when you walk in to whom you can ask whatever random mundane item you need's location.  All I ask, as a hardworking member of the business, is to show a little respect and put the cart back where it belongs.  And not half a mile away on the side of the street by a bus stop.
