We call those carts "floats" at the Litter Box and ours are two sizes. I usually grab one of the shorter ones, which will fit 3 rows of totes 3 high and is easier for me to push/steer as opposed to the longer ones (they hold 4 rows of totes.) If I stack more than 3 high, I can't see inside the top one without a stepstool - I'm kinda on the short side, ya know.
Most of the time I don't have any problems with our customers wanting to look at stuff, but on occasion I'll have one start to move my cart - if I spot them, I'll rush over and quickly move it for them.
Last week, I had a woman come down one of the aisles I was working on and without a word start to move my cart - AWAY from me.
Inside, I'm ready to introduce her to my inner bitch. Outwardly, I simply walked over and took hold of the float and moved it myself so it would be closer. "I really need this float closer to me so I can work better," I explained.
Got a CBF from her, then she wanted to get right where I'd moved the cart to and started to move it again.
Again, I took it and moved it away from her and adjusted it alongside the aisle and heard her mutter something about how she couldn't do anything right today.
Whatever. Might be better if you had told me exactly what you wanted to get to in the first place and I could have moved the cart further upwards. But then that would have required some common sense (not to mention common courtesy.)
Geez people, what's wrong with asking - nicely - if you could get closer to a certain section rather than moving the damn cart yourself.
Besides, you don't work for us - suppose you accidentally hit someone who's passing by while you're moving a float and you're not an employee? Can you spell liability? I can and don't need a college degree to do it (I have wiki, bu I digress.)
