Kewl Beans John! I am so happy for you. :D You'll get plenty of excercise doing that and you'll probably build up some muscles too!! I sit at a desk all day so I don't get much excercise. I wish I had a job where I could move around some.

This past week or so since it's cooled of somewhat, I've been taking a 15 minute walk after I eat lunch. George and I have also started taking an evening walk on the nights we don't have band practice. We want to get in shape for when we start playing out. :)

Well.. there is a new thing with the job now..

My boss is afraid I'm gonna hurt my back.. So she insists she wants me to just make lines of 20 carts and then have this machine we have come and pick them up..

I'll admit.. I made 2-3 lines of 20 yesterday.. But I still think I should do it the old fashioned way and pushed between 6 and 8 at a time..

I also think that is more time efficient plus during our big rushes.. It keeps the carts in the store..

I can get 20 carts in 3 seperate trips quicker than my other guys can line up 20 and push them in using that machine.. {not ratting on my other guys.. just stating a fact}

John, I think you're right, but your boss just wants to get their money's worth out of that cart hauler!

Well yeah, but I think the boss is just looking out for your best interest.

I pushed carts at our Super Target during the summer, and when I wasn't making much money for grad school - trust me, you'll want to keep using the cart machine. There were times when it went out, and I couldn't wait for the day when it worked again. If they let you put more than 20 on the machine, it will go faster. I hurt my back a few times doing it the old-fashioned way, so be careful.
