Today was a day that I will long remember, and doubt I will ever experience again. This will be the day that I had the pleasure of using the greatest shopping cart in my history of retail shopping.
When I first wrapped my hands around the cart handles, I knew it was something special. Just the feeling of the plastic in my hands was superior to anything I had used before. Little did I know what more was in store for me.
The feeling of the wheels on the concrete was simply sublime. They rolled with ease as if they were touched by Jesus himself. The movement of the cart was just effortless and it felt as if I was pushing a cloud through the building materials aisle. I placed a large, heavy bucket of premixed thinset into it's carriage, and I could barely tell the difference. It was like I placed a bundle of balloons in the cart, not a heavy bucket.
This cart was perfectly balanced. It did not veer to the left or to the right like many-a lesser cart may trend. It only went exactly where it needed to go as if my satisfaction was it's guarantee.
After I checked out, I made my way to the cart corral and a small tear formed in the corner of my eye. I considered taking the cart home so that I my hand it down as an heirloom to my children, but I did not want to rob the world of the greatest cart ever fashioned from plastic and steel.
The 3 words that come to mind when thinking about this cart are: perfect, perfection, well-oiled, great and greatest of all time
