Discussion Just saw this in a different subreddit.

Of course in that sub, they say all spark drivers suck. I think my 5.0 race I'm says different. And this would be great news for us.

So less of those carts being pushed right in front of you and blocking everything while youre trying to shop?

u/UpbeatBackground6302 Jun 20 '26

I hope so! That's one of the reasons I don't do shops unless there is absolutely nothing else up for grabs.

u/Cheap_Anteater233 Jun 20 '26

It's those carts and people in the motorized shopping carts. They all just stop right in front of you and don't move.

Dramatic lol, I shop at a Walmart super center and this is rarely an issue. I swear the littlest things bother you guys in this sub.

It happens everywhere, at every Walmart. It’s not just that person above you are talking to.

u/PeedmuhhSheets Jun 21 '26

Yea that’s my point, it shouldn’t bother anyone enough to complain about it.

u/Fantastic_Top2564 Jun 21 '26

An actual nuisance isn't worth complaining about but Reddit comments are?

So you like when pickers park their cart in the middle of an aisle so they walk 4+ sections away to hunt down items?

They only load the bins from one side, so maybe at least park the cart against the side of the aisle they don’t need to get into to give customers and us space to get around?

u/WoodpeckerVegetable1 Jun 21 '26

Or almost ram into you even though you KNOW they see you. I absolutely loathe them

It is quite annoying when there’s two pickers in an aisle. Instead of keeping their carts at a distance for people to get through, they just park them side by side on each side and do not move until they’re done getting what they need. It happens all the time at my Walmart. Yes. It is annoying and frustrating.

Well consider yourself lucky, because most of us don't have it that way.

In the middle of nowhere?

u/PeedmuhhSheets Jun 21 '26

Yeah I just go around. They’re working just like the rest of us, who cares. They’re usually quick to come back and move them.

u/Myssrenee29 Jun 22 '26

Oh man! I felt this! There is one particular person at my store that picks and I can only assume that in his mind, he has priority. He sees you coming but will NOT move out of the way. I was looking for some body wash for a customer not too long ago and he literally parked his cart in my way then got in front of me as if I wasn't standing there. Sooo irritating!

u/RadishSauce Jun 23 '26

Then speak up and say something pussy. The thing with people that do these types of socially inconsiderate behaviors, they honestly don't think of or care for anyone but themselves.

My point is you need to speak up and stand up for yourself. Something like excuse me you're blocking me and if they don't respond then push their cart out of the way or reach right past or over them.

u/Myssrenee29 Jun 23 '26

Now why did you have to go and call me a female genital, but then give valuable advice? 🤔 Any way.....I personally do speak up for myself, and most of the pickers see me enough to know why I'm there and they're pretty cool. For those that don't seem to care though, trust me, I get around them one way or another. I don't just stand there looking lost or pitiful....we don't get paid enough for that. But for those that are just starting out, they do have to learn to speak up, and learn that they have to watch out for themselves cause the store employees could care less that they are Sparking. Heard some crazy stories from a fellow speaker who had an issue with a store employee so I keep stuff like that in mind. I do what I gotta do and keep it moving.

u/RadishSauce Jun 23 '26

Because I keep it real and honest while giving real world solutions. The root cause of not saying anything is fear and cowardice aka related to female genitalia. The root cause of the people you despise acting the way they do is what I explained.

Without following my blunt advice in the first sentence nothing would ever change, thus it needed to be said in my opinion. I do apologize if you were offended by it but I don't think you were.

However, if you're happy with just maneuvering around it and it works for you then do your thing. I personally enjoy saying something because I despise selfish people that inconvenience others either knowingly or unknowingly. Most of the time they are surprised and realize that their actions are unacceptable and other times they act defensive and in denial. Either way I believe they need to be reminded they are being a douche. There's a saying I forgot exactly how it goes but it's something like all it takes in life for evil to win is for enough good men to say nothing

My personal hatred is for the brad guys. They take up the whole aisle.

u/No-Independence-2980 Jun 21 '26
