Duluth on the front page, twice?

WE FINALLY MADE IT!

This picture was just taken today in Duluth, MN. They are currently in a state of emergency due to flash flooding. Pictures if you're interested.

Edit: Thanks tynet1 for pointing out this Target is in Superior, WI (which is right across the border from Duluth).

Edit 2: Theluvbeat points out that this is in Duluth right next to the mall. I am from MN, but not Duluth. So I just put both cities. Both cities are pretty banged up from this storm to say the least.

Edit 3: After half a dozen people supported Theluvbeat I'm changing it back to Duluth.

As a cart pusher from Kroger I would like to personally thank that man and shake his hand some day.

BrilliantCorner · 4 months

Let it go Bubbles. It's just not worth it.

Dr_Graves · 4 months

It's the Good Guy Greg thing to do.

madmonkeymud · 4 months

So, I take it from the rest of the comments that I'm the only one who always returns these, and in that situation would probably still do it out of habit.

BonTonVon · 4 months

As a cart pusher at Target, I say good on you.

Extreme Minnesota Nice!

Two posts about Duluth on the front page. Crazy!

He's either entirely too noble a person, or a terrible judge on flotation devices.

IUsedToBeAPygmy · 4 months

My guess is he's actually getting the cart, maybe to use it to get his 102-year-old grandmother to safety. Or something.

"gosh why won't this damn thing fill up?!"

He will be remembered for all that he fought for.

Would you really want a shopping cart to injure or kill you during a flood? Death by water is understandable, but death by shopping cart isn't even worth a burial. This man is simply doing his part to protect everyone against being embarrassingly killed by a shopping cart during a flood.

Target employee here.

I salute you, sir.

Perhaps properly placing a cart in the correct receptacle triggers the elevator into the Ministry of Magic?

Good Guy Shopper.

Knowing of my own OCD and willingness (urge) to put stray carts in the corrals, I feel for that guy.

I immediately thought of this.

somethingotherthanb4 · 4 months

He's from Duluth Minnesota. They're practically Canadian. He was just being polite.

As a cart-guy at a grocery store, this brought a tear to my eye. Thank you sir, THANK YOU.

Good on him. If you are one of those lazy people who think it's someone else's job to return your shopping cart because your time is too valuable, then there's a good chance I hate you. You probably need the exercise anyway if you're that lazy. Take the cart to the nearest cart return or find some way to get genital leprosy so you can't pass on those genes and behavior. I have been known to randomly hand out cash to people who take their carts back and loudly thank others while glaring at those lackwits who leave their carts in the middle of parking spaces. I'm pretty sure I'll be shot one day in a parking lot.

Hurm · 4 months

I want to put this picture up all over my store.

"If this guy did it, what's your excuse?"

keeok · 4 months

My hero. I hate it when people just leave the cart in the parking lot.

I'm a cart attendant at Target(worst job ever) and all I gotta say is that guy has more respect in a flood than most retards in Cali with our perfect weather.

Dum de dum dum, the rains a bit heavy today, de dum de dum, oh look! there's a car floating past, dum de du Oh dammit! the store is closed.

heimdal77 · 4 months

Every person who has ever pushed carts for a living has given this guy a standing ovation when seeing this.

not_very_sure2 · 4 months

This is more funny than WTF, not really WTF at all actually.

levelbestasever · 4 months

This is the equivalent of Captain "Sully" Sullenburger sending his local library an apology note because his book was overdue. Because it was on his plane. That he landed in the Hudson River with no casualties to his passengers.

ytayj · 4 months

I've just realised what's weirder about this photo. There is someone else standing waist-deep in floodwater taking a picture of this.

CIAJackal · 4 months

It's sad that dedication to good behavior is WTF now. Good on you, guy.

As a former cart boy, I approve of this man's dedication

While it was not THAT flooded, I worked at a Farm Fresh during a hurricane. Pushing carts and helping people to their cars with bags. I was out for so long, got so drenched that I reached a weird state of zen where the water just didn't matter anymore. Normally rain is a nuisance but for those few hours I didn't care about the rain.

digiSal · 4 months

in my teens there was a hidden camera show that awarded a customer one million dollars for returning a shopping cart to the corral.

one of my best friends always returned the carts to the corral after seeing this.

i didnt know he moved to Duluth.

JROCK50 · 4 months

My job is to pull these bitches in. Mad respect for this guy

Amenitre · 4 months

Someone please turn this into one of those (de)motivational posters.

Determination: Because you will not be that guy to take up a fucking parking spot with a shopping cart through neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail.

tronn4 · 4 months

Talk about customer loyalty! That store manager owes this guy some anal!

WTF
