Shopping Cart Tip

While approaching the Marukai entrance one day last week, I noticed a lady struggling to separate two shopping carts. By the time I reached her, she was working on her second pair.  I offered to help her and grabbed one end of the carts. We both started yanking away, but they still wouldn't separate. We switched sides. Yank, yank, yank. Yank, yank, yank. No luck. 

We grabbed a third pair. Yank, yank, yank. Laugh, laugh, laugh. Yank, yank, yank.  Still no luck.

We grabbed our fourth pair. The other three pairs of carts were now blocking the entrance, and we were actually really too weak from laughing to make any progress on the set that we were now attempting to separate. 

A not-too-amused lady security guard came out of the store with the palm of one hand extending outwards motioning for us to stop. She walked up to one of the stuck pairs of carts, lifted them up a few inches above the ground and then BAM dropped them. The two carts then easily drifted apart from each other. 

I said, "Oooooh, so dat's how you do it.", whereupon me and the other lady grabbed our carts and quickly made our way into the store.
