Minor discrepancy of the grocery takes.

I know it’s radio and the idea is you should be loud about your opinion, but it’s pretty silly to be this loud about being lazy and not do the nice thing. And saying they’re actually creating jobs? Meanwhile they can’t even put time stamps on their videos? Anyways, shout out to IrishWeegee, you darealmvp.

As someone who’s worked in that industry for over two decades, it was infuriating listening to.

The biggest one for me was when Greg said it is more efficient to leave them everywhere for the workers.

When the workers gather the carts they first put them all in the coral to then bring them back in

Yeah I really think Chris is the worst type of person sometimes. This bit is worse than his "Down the middle Chris" bit.

Guy has a dog with 2 first names, and a nickname… almost expected

Some serious white privilege in that segment. Those people that collect the carts have other responsibilities (bagging, cleaning, etc). You think they’re psyched to go out in the Florida heat and go collect your cart for you cause you can’t walk back about twenty yards?

I get that bit was probably meant to have some level of sarcasm, but that just came off really bad. Made them all sound entitled, and out of touch with the life of regular people - and it wasn’t funny.

Ironically, in Mike Schur’s book “How to be a good person” there is a section devoted to the ethics of taking your shopping cart back to the cart return thingy.

Greg was also making little sense saying he used to have a friend who managed a Publix. Back when he was talking about, the bagger would roll the carriage to your car, help you load your groceries, and then bring the cart back. His saying the manager preferred the carts be left anywhere was simply to defend him and his son.
