Saving Someone a Few Steps

--by Loyal, posted Oct 26, 2011

After parking my car at the supermarket or discount store, I look around to see if anyone, especially an elderly person or mother with small children, has almost finished emptying their shopping cart.

Then I ask them if they would like for me to take their cart into the store with me so that they won't have to walk it to the cart-return area.

Guess what? I have never been turned down, and have always been thanked for doing so.
