Gregg, I never would have guessed what this was without your description; then it just popped! Very clever, including the title!
#2: Jota (jota) on Oct 18, 2009
After trying very hard, only saw it after the description.
#3: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Oct 18, 2009
Ditto both of the above.

Thanks for your comments, Tonia, Jota and Adam. I enjoy it when the picture pops into view, but it's better if it can happen without the description. Maybe next time!

Weird. Come to think of it, I haven't had a wobbly-wheeled cart in years and years. I shop mostly at a local organic grocery store, or sometimes Whole Foods. Are organic grocery carts better? Or maybe as the US auto industry has started building higher quality cars than they used to, the good vehicle karma has suffused the Detroit area, making even grocery carts drive better.

Teresa, that's because MANY if not MOST of them actually have wobbly wheels. :-)

What's a "healthy food" store? :-)

I don't know which chains are in which cities, but the "healthy" food stores here have lots of organic foods and more choices of whole foods and stuff packaged without additives. Here we have Trader Joe's, Wild Oats, and Sunflower. Unfortunately, the "healthy" stores are just as bad as the regular stores for placing large displays of beer and wine right at the entrance. In Arizona and other states, liquor is sold in grocery stores. Too bad, because it really belongs in the drug store with the other drugs.

I don't want to get into an argument about the "health benefits" of alcohol, so instead you can read up on the latest research that shows the benefits are far outweighed by the risks:

Most of the people in my family need to eat gluten free, and Valerie and I are both fans of organic food, so we shop in grocery stores that carry both. You tend to pay a heck of a lot more than you do in regular grocery stores.

Whole Foods is the big national chain. In our area, at least, they are actually kind of weak on the variety of organic produce they offer, but because they do more business, the organic produce they stock tends to be fresher. Trader Joe is another big chain, with more reasonable prices. I mostly shop at a local store called "Arbor Farms" which has the best gluten-free selection in town and a good selection of organic produce, though not always as fresh as you would like. We used to shop at the "People's Food Coop" which is a survivor of the sixties, as you can tell from the name, but they are weaker on gluten-free food and lack a parking lot, which is a problem now that I'm buying so much food each week.

Maybe the reason they have better shopping carts is that they (a) tend to be newer, (b) tend to have fewer customers who actually fill the cart there and more who just buy a few things and don't even use carts, and (c) tend to have more money from being more expensive.

BEER! Don't take my beer away, Tereresaaaa!!!

I agree with all your reasons for why health food stores have fewer wobbly wheeled carts Jan.
