The Tramp™ asked:


I’m a cart pusher for Wal-Mart and a college student. I’ve heard that there are some Wal-Mart stores using a shopping cart management system called Verlok. The mechanism has a slot where you insert a quarter ($0.25) and then remove a key from the mechanism and then the cart can be taken out. When the customer is finished, he returns the cart to the corral and locks it into the others and then his quarter is returned. Cool, huh? No more carts strewn about the parking lot, no more damaged carts or dents in customer vehicles, and BEST of all, no more intense hard work. We can be doing something else instead of spending 8 hours retrieving stupid carts. Lighten the work load! The only problem–why doesn’t THIS Wal-Mart have the Verlok system? I hope they hurry up and try to bring it down here. It’s hell without it!
Here are a few things to think of. Help me think of some more in/out thoughts.
DEPOSIT IN, LAZINESS OUT
DEPOSIT IN, EXCUSES OUT
DEPOSIT IN, IRRESPONSIBILITY OUT
