I probably would have been liable for this.
So, it's the Saturday before Easter. The store is packed because Easter is also Christmas Part Three. (With Black Friday being Christmas Part One of course)
The parking lot is even worse because everyone is trying to get that coveted spot close to the store. So while driver A is waiting for the spot to open, Driver B is trying to pull out of his space and not crash into Driver A, or Driver C who is waiting for Driver's B and A to get out of the way so she can exit the lane and eventually move on with her own life.
This is making it very hard for me to get shopping carts into the store for other customers to use by the way because I'm mainly trying to avoid getting hit, running into someone's vehicle, or into a shopper on their way in and out of the store.
Now, I could make a jab at the laziness of people trying to park close to the store when there are plenty of parking spaces towards the back of the parking lot. But in some cases I sympathize with them. As jammed as the place was on Saturday, I could sympathize with people who want to minimize the risk of getting run over by parking as close to the entrance as possible, especially if children are in tow.
No, my complaint comes from a very particular customer who was leaving the store. Mainly because this person wasn't even looking up or acting like she was aware of any inconvenience she was causing someone.
I wish I could take a photo of the entrance without incriminating myself. But in most major department stores like The Bullseye, there is a specific entrance that is meant for the long rows of shopping carts. It's a very narrow space divided from the regular parts of the vestibule by railings that unfortunately do nothing to keep people from trying to use the cart door as an exit or entrance.
There I am with a long row of carts, guiding Wally (The motorized cart pusher) off of the parking lot towards the cart entrance, when a woman, instead of using the doors clearly marked exit, bolts right into my path before dashing between the railings and out of the customer's side of the vestibule.
Again, she wasn't even looking up. She didn't even apologize when I called out quite alarmed by the blunt stupidity of her actions. And the worse part is if I had hit her, which I came very close to doing, I would have been responsible.
