But now I'm curious about this hook.

They were metal hooks made of brass (which has antimicrobial properties, apparently) that people carried around to avoid having to touch things during the pandemic.

I saw a handful in the wild. I thought they were just improvised until I found out they are an actual product.

I think that's the widget that Benny from the Olsen Gang is always carrying.

As an ex grocery clerk let me tell you that going out to get the carts was in my top five dogsbody activities, along with filling the dairy case, using the compacters to make trash cubes then using the pallet jack to wheel them out back, being the 40lb water softener salt bag stacker, and changing out the weekly sales items on the roadside sign. That person was good natured for putting the cart in the corral, but leaving them all over the place was just as good, if not better, because it gave me an excuse to be away from my supervisor and the customers longer.

E: I don't even know if the above comment is pursuant to what the two of you are discussing; I just like thinking back on my days moving things from one place to another for a iving while humming.

I just gagged at the mention of filling the dairy case. Brought back my 20 year old memories of having to do that in a tiny slick floored refrigerated room that permanently smelled of spoiled milk. I haven�t been able to make myself drink the stuff since, and even using it in cooking grosses me out a bit.

Checking creamer expiration dates in the rotten milk slime cave, rinsing gore out of the meat department after they go home for the day, emptying the old oil from the deli deep fryers into that tub of rancid grease by the dumpsters out back, pretty much anything involving garbage; the wise factotum, abandoning self respect, knows the path of Oscar The Grouch allows him the freedom to listen to super low quality mp3s burned to a cd-r on his discman in peace.

Yeah I barely remember most of my trolleyboy days but the absolute highlight of that whole job was when someone would phone up to report a cart a mile away from the supermarket and you'd spend half an hour going for a pleasant walk to hunt it down.

The other day I saw the small man that works at my usual grocery store. He was along the side of the road in his street clothes pushing a cart back to the store (apparently on his day off) and grumbling to himself.
That was bewildering, but he�s a weird guy anyway
