You got me there.
Random Thought:
I wish grocery stores would treat their carts more like airports/mega malls treat rental cargo carts. Costs a buck to rent one, and you get your dollar back when you return the cart. Free carts for senior citizens and the handicapped, and the lazy assholes wouldn't mind paying a buck for not returning their cart.
As a kid my parents allowed me to run around the Mall or O-Hare to return cargo carts for cash for the arcade, and it was awesome. I couldn't believe that people would leave a cart stranded, knowing that they could get fifty cents if they simply returned it. I know it doesn't sound like much these days, but in 1987 $5.00 in quarters would last for hours in an arcade.

You have never been to an Aldi, have you?
No, but I certainly know of their business. Do they rent carts?
I've been a shareholder in Alex Lee Inc. for several years so I'd say I do 90% of my grocery shopping at Lowe's Foods. Aldi is very impressive in numbers, and their overhead is as close to nil as a grocery business can get. Trader Joe's almost copied their business model verbatim, save for the fact Trader Joe's carries third party products and is a prettier store (plus it is "hip").

They just put up a Trader Joes near my work, I love it! I can't belive how cheap it is, great food for a bachelor haha just fancy microwave meals. I can get a weeks worth of groceries for $50. Alot of hipsters in there, but then again this is Milwaukee which is like Hipster central.
