That'd such a sweet job, I'd get to practice my drifting skills while getting paid at the same time. Could you imagine how difficult it would be to drift like 20 shopping carts at one time? It'd be like super-ultra-mega-duper-hicas.

sweet christ I think we need to have shopping cart chariot races at one of the meets.

I think we can do this buy using atleast 4 carts, have the pilot sit in the rear cart and steer, while another person plays the part of the horse and either just runs pulling the cart, or by pushing another cart in front of them with the reigns attached.

should make for some dumb videos and a lot of scabs

Or just have one guy push a cart, depending on his power he's making we'll see who's the winner. It comes down to the driver though... although the driver is also the engine. We could set up a small Auto-x/Drift course for them! hahahaha that'd be so freaking awesome!

i always drift my cart in the grocery store, cause it makes lots of noise. i don't make sound effects, though. i used to work at a grocery store and drifted about 10 carts on ice outside (while i was the only front end employee there, and was management). my favorite thing to do was to ride on the front of the cart outside. go really fast and it will start to spin out, and then fall over.

God, I'm a dork.


100 bucks an hour? You add up everybody in that Costco's paycheck and it barely gets 100/hour lol! At least around here. The people in my cosco probably make 6-7 bucks an hour tops. Making 8 bucks an hour w/o doing telemarking is pretty dang hard. stupid college students everywhere.

Skydragonness, please remove that horrible picture from your sig! It reminds me of the time I saw an old man...like 80+ in a black speedo at the beach. He was at the shower wringing the water out of the front of it as though he had no genetalia whatsoever. *shudder*

How's that? Do you find yourself not wanting to look, but can't seem to take your eyes off of it? That's how I felt when I saw a woman of about 350+ pounds in bright green spandex.

back to shopping cart drifting! i like to distribute the dense materials towards the bottom front of the shopping cart allowing easier rear wheel slide and less chance of tipping the cart. i also feel the best time to do it is when the dust builds up on the floors and wheels of the shopping cart. quite fun!

i use to work at kroger and drift those carts all the time, it was so much fun! i'd run around the store, make engine noises and blow off valves. maybe thats why i got fired. to many drifts gone bad into the shelves i guess.

when I was working at a Fred's store, we had to run out and get carts all the time, the best way to work your drift is by drifting a line of 11 or so carts.

Me and Skwerel got mad skillz yo! DORI DORI and all that shizznit!

I work at Kroger too, and we have the Race-Carts. The ones for little kids. And later at night we'll run full speed in the parking lot and see who can do the most spins without flipping. I am the king with 4.5 Oh Yeah!:ylsuper
