A story from a friend

She was standing outside the Harris Teeter on Sunday afternoon, with her dog. Some background: the store has an annoying new policy where its karts lock up once they get a few feet from the door. The story ...

A guy comes out of the front entrance with a kart full of groceries; his kart locks up. He curses and runs inside to grab a manager.

"I just need to get it to my car right there," he says, pointing to the lot across Pine. "Come on, man."

The manager grudgingly bends down and unlocks the wheel. The man pushes it towards the corner. "They try to control us more and more every day!" he tells her as he passes.

Then, instead of crossing to the lot, he turns the corner and begins sprinting down the street with the kart.
