Driving With Shopping Carts

This morning my friend Avery Davery got her drivers license. This got my mind to thinking about driving, specifically driving shopping carts. Driving a shopping cart is a skill that requires in depth knowledge of how to, first of all, work the cart and, second, work the aisles of the store in which you drive. I happen to be quite a skilled shopping cart driver. I keep to the speed limit throughout the store, yield for pedestrians(those who use shopping baskets), and most of all I go with the flow with traffic. This is probably one of the most important skills. With people moving in and out it is easy to become stagnant as you search for the item you want. You can't. Grocery store movement depends on the flow of traffic and a pileup will create a hazard to both the consumer and the grocerer. I have become an expert on driving with shopping carts and have driven in many different locales. I understand the difference between driving at Wall Mart or driving at a grocery store. Every store has a different identity and you need to become familiar with each setting. For example Target is a pretty sprawled out store. Each section is a good walk away from the other and it takes a large byway in order to get from department to department. Once you enter each department though, it becomes more compact and one must be careful as if driving in the city. It is a constant system of quick stops and starts and one must be attuned to that way of driving. Similar to this is driving in a grocery store. The driving is so compact it is like driving on the lower east side. Short and narrow streets, that only have one way of traffic flow. But one will find the correct flow in shopping cart driving in time. Just constant practice and manuevering will allow you to be able to develop the skills of shopping cart driving
