>Reader thinks fines for stray shopping carts is a bit over the top
I live on the westside not far from town. From time to time I’ll find shopping a cart on the sidewalk nearby (usually Stop & Shop). I call the respective supermarket & the next time I check it, it is gone.
Maybe the problem is the neighbors don’t call the supermarkets to retrieve their property. It’s hard to fathom what (& why) bureaucratic measures the village has taken against such useful (&nice) stores.
P.S. I have found them jutting into the road & just place them neatly on the sidewalk for the store pickup.
