It's so quiet!
I went to Wal-Mart to pick up a prescription (for my ridiculous sinusitis!) and noticed how amazingly quiet it was in the store. At first I couldn't put my finger on the strange lack of noise, but as I got my cart, wary as I was because I ALWAYS get a bad one, I noticed that it was brand new! No large dents in the wheels, no gum or string wrapped around them, and remarkably clean! I looked around and realized that ALL of the carts were new. The silence was the lack of clanging carts or squeaky wheels! Who knew what a difference that would make? I actually had a pleasant shopping experience there, probably mostly because I kept marvelling at the quietness. Way to go, Wal-Mart!

That's funny...pictures of WalMart carts. Makes me homesick!! Ha!
That is SO funny that you blogged about this...I noticed the exact same thing several weeks ago when I went. It was so quiet, it really made me feel less stressed! I second your "way to go Wal-Mart!"
I DON'T LIKE those noisy carts either! I wish our Wal-Mart would invest in some new quiet carts! Glad you had a peaceful Wal-Mart trip!
My last shopping experience involved a cart that needed a front-end alighment! It pulled right so badly that I was actually pushing with my right hand and pulling back with my left. The logical thing would have been to go exchange it for a better one, but, no, I think "I can deal with this for a few minutes." My arms and shoulders were literally tired by the end of the shopping experience! (Patience is not always a virtue. Sometimes it is just not wanting to take care of a problem.)
This bothered me until I passed a lady pushing her dented-tire cart with its loud bump...bump....bump.
...bump. Bless her heart! (No matter what you've got...someone has it worse than you.)
Life lessons from a WalMart Cart. It's a funny thing to blog about! So many of us can relate!!

And then some of us don't have a Super Wal-Mart! :(
