Most Saturday mornings you'll find me doing the rounds of grocery stores and supermarkets after an early morning workout at the gym.
While not necessarily a coupon clipper, I do look through the weekly grocery flyers before heading out.
This morning, due to a sale on lean ground beef (for Ben), I found myself at the new Loblaws Superstore in Peterborough.
Parking my truck, I grabbed a couple of shopping bags from the back and with my quarter clenched firmly between my fingers, braved the minus 18 degree temperatures to grab a shopping cart.
Inserting my quarter and then doing the cart release dance, my eye was drawn to the right hand corner of one of the cart's baskets. There was a cup holder. A cup holder on a shopping cart.
Give. Me. Strength.
What's next? Satellite radio and air bags?

A dream come true!
Now I wont slop my Timmie's all over the eggs!
Now if we could get them to place trash cans around the store like Walmart in Ancaster...
DJW
Somewhat obvious yet sadly lacking. Where will people pu their empy beverage cups...?
Leave 'em in the cupholder for the cart boys. Better than finding them in the ketchup aisle. Love the cup holder. Now...can we talk about all the stores equipped with antibacterial wipes by the carts. Superstore should follow in Zellers tracks.
;-P
Wipes? Great idea! Why not put them beside bathroom doors, too? Visit the bathroom, do your thing, wash hands and then go to the main door, realizing that many people have been grabbing that same handle all day today, yesterday... pretty much defeats the premise of fighting germs and infection in the first place, doesn't it?
