I guess they needed it worse than me
Just got back from Lowes. Shopping list of a wax ring, closet bolts, 12d nails, kitchen faucet. I also put my stanley tape measure in the cart. Was checking out the faucets turned around and my cart was gone... Vanished in thin air. I was standing within 6 feet of it... everything was in the cart ready to check out..

Illegal aliens usually wait until after you get through the checkout. However, this guy might have just came from the Red Cross cash lines.......[}:)][}:)]

ain't it. I just went back up front and got a new cart and retraced my steps to get the same thing again. Checkout lady says it happens all the time. Scrub on Stanley 25' tape.0 -

Actually I was going to use the tape measure to see if you were tall enough to ride the ferris wheel..[:o)][:o)][:D]0 -
I bet they wanted the cart and were too lazy to go get one. Your stuff was just dumped. 0 -
Tape measures, hammers, water hose nozzles and little hedge clipper/trimmers, are their primary targets.

I imagine what happened is that a sales associate saw the cart sitting there and assumed it was a cart full of returns. He/She then proceded to put the items back on the shelf.
I do it too, I work there part time in the tool department, but I make sure that there is nobody around to claim the goodies first!
People pile up carts full of stuff and change their minds all the time. Then they just walk away from the stuff and leave it in your department for you to figure out what to do with it.
I have seen a wife get mad at the husband about a paint choice and simply walk out leaving him standing their with a cart full of stuff. He will then throw his hands up in the air and follow her out the door. Guess who has to put the stuff back on the shelf? I just laugh and put the merchandise back.0 -

You know, that wouldn't surprise me if thats what actually happened. Funny part about that is it would take more effort to get rid of the stuff in the cart then to just grab an empty one. Some people are just so lazy mentally that they cause themselves more work physically[:D].

Sounds like fun too. I'd like to see their face at the checkout when they realize they have a pack of cheap rubbers!! That's just good clean family fun[:p]0 -

Now I thought I invented doing things like that. The things that set the alarms off are the greatest things ever made!0 -

+1 on too lazy to get their own cart. Disagree with dumping the stuff. Probably just left it in the cart til they got to the register, then said they didn't want that stuff and left it for the cashiers to deal with later.0
