My favorite walmart story:
I'm in my 20s. I ride the cart down the aisles, especially when empty (edit: the aisles, not my cart). I'm heading down the frozen aisle looking for pizza or something, ridding along at high speed to get to the other side.
At the end of the aisle comes a cart barreling around the corner. An older 60-70 year old man is ridding his cart at a good speed, and we both ride past the other cart having a stare down as we cross in opposite directions.
After that moment, as the carts keep on wheeling down, we both give a couple more kicks to gain speed. I get to the pizza section, he disappears around the corner. Never to meet on the racing track again.
My favorite Walmart story: Wife and I shopping, I head down one aisle to grab some deodorant while she heads down the next to grab some conditioner or something. I hear this huge crash. I come around to look and the cart is on its side, contents spilled all over and the wife is sprawled out on the floor next to it.
She was riding and tipped it over backwards.
Sadly, not a single person was around to witness it.
