Shoppers: don't lift carts
Stores frown on shoppers 'borrowing' shopping carts
By Brenda Thornton
CM the EnterM
There's nothing quite like that
first shopping spree on your own.
Aisles and aisles of goodies tempt
and tantalize. T-bone steaks,
salmon fillets, ice cream and
Oreos slowly crowd your shop
ping basket.
While the bill may bowl you
over, an even more staggering
problem presents itself once
through the check-out counter:
how to get the goods to where
you're going. The obvious solu
tion is to literally cart them horned
"If shoppers even pause to
think about taking the shopping
carts, they don't consider it theft,"
says Dale Turpin, manager of
McKay's Market, 1960 Franklin
Blvd. "Few carts are out and out
stolen, but if they aren't returned,
the end result is the same."
According to Turpin, that "end
result" is replacement of missing
and damaged carts, or paying
employees to round up the stray
shopping baskets. With about 100
carts lost per year at an average of
$95 a cart, the thievery becomes
more than petty.
"Ultimately the consumer ends
up paying the bill," Turpin notes.
"And some days we can't hardly
operate because there aren't
enough carts."
With the return of University
students, Turpin predicts an in
crease in pilfered carts.
"We patrol the dorm areas on a
weekly basis," Turpin says. "But
it's not just a student problem. We
find carts in alleys and streets
within about a 15-block radius of
the store."
Besides posting signs and giving
verbal instructions to leave carts
on McKay's premises, Turpin says
that he hesitates to try harsher
precautions.
"I spend tens and tens of

shopping cart is theft.
thousands of dollars trying to get
shoppers into the store. I don't
want to drive them away,” Turpin
says.
Safeway stores, including the
one at 145 E. 18th Ave., have turn
ed this Catch-22 into a marketing
advantage. According to Bridget
Flanagan, public relations director
for Safeway, the chain "provides
the carts as an extra service to our
customers. We post signs that say
use them, but bring them back.' "
“We never consider it (taking
carts) stealing," Flanagan says.
"But some people do forget to
bring carts back. So we encourage
the public to let us know where
the carts are."
Flanagan admits this open-cart
policy still presents problems like
those faced by stores with stricter
regulations. Many carts never
return.
"We hope that people won't use
them for barbecue pits and laun
dry baskets," Turpin says. "People
just need to be made aware of the
inconvenience caused by a shor
tage of carts."
