Wally is without a doubt my most reliable coworker. I push a button and it moves. It doesnt So long as I recharge Wally at night he's my best friend the next morning. My other coworker is similarly dubbed Kitt although it's more because it's an older version of Wally with a similar power indicator to it's namesake's "voice" indicator.
So as I said, both of these machines are easily my most trustworthy coworkers. I never get lip from them when I ask them to do their jobs. With either one of them I can push ten times the amount of shopping carts that I could as a human and get the cart area's filled up nice and quick.
That said, Wally and Kitt have asked me to pass a few remarks on to our customers, (I'm sorry, "guests") to make their jobs easier.
It's Cool When the Cops catch a Bad guy
But it's even cooler when you're not the reason the cops had to show up in the first place. When Wally and I are pushing a long row of carts and I'm trying to cross a busy parking lot, the most dangerous thing you can do is turn your head to watch a police officer arresting a shoplifter outside the store... while you are driving.
This also applies to walking and pushing your own shopping carts across the parking lot as I'm forced to try to stop as quickly as possible to avoid running into you, because you don't associate the heavy rattling sounds coming towards you with something you don't want to get hit by.
This ties into Wally's next request.
Watch Where you're Walking
It's a beautiful day. Or you're trying to remember where you parked your car. It's a mall parking lot. Whatever it is, you felt the need to stop and drink it all in right in front of the special entrance for the shopping carts.
This again caused me to have to stop and pull hard on the heavy row of carts to slow it down and not run into you. This, by the way, inconvenienced any drivers, including but not limited to the bus driver because have my row was still stuck in the road while we all wait for the music video that's no doubt playing in your head to end.
Oh yeah,
To the aforementioned drivers
Honking your horn or giving me a dirty look isn't making me move any faster. See the above paragraph for more details.
Get off the Damn Cellphone
Unless your loved ones are calling you from the space station the call isn't that important. Not while you're going into the Big Red Bullseye at any rate, so please get off the phone as it seems to block your perhipheral or make you unaware that there are living breathing human beings out there.
Watch Where You are Going
Seriously. I learned very simple rules for crossing the road and parking lots as I was growing and I really don't know what is going on in your heads when you flit across my path like a deer on the highway. You don't understand the metaphor? Drive through my home state sometime and you're bound to see it eventually.
And One More Thing
I can overlook people constantly trying to enter the store through the doors very clearly marked Exit Only as I have made that mistake too many times to talk. But one thing is definitely worth mentioning.
That special door I mentioned, the one that clearly says "Not an Entrance" or "Not an Exit" is specifically so that I can get a line of carts into the store in the quickest and least invasive manner possible.
Please do not go into it because it seems more convenient than taking two more steps to the left and walking through the doors that are marked specifically for your entry. And look, they even open just for you! I have to open the special entry way myself but you can enjoy this small amount of "pampering" free of charge and not get in my way.
That is all.
