Yes, I knew that was the real reason, but it hurt the customers the most!

I was in there one time, and there were no carts. Here comes a teenage floor-mopper, and he's wheeling his bucket around in a cart! I said "Gimme that cart!!!" He was going to fight me for it, but I won. Which is when I went home and told my husband I was becoming too East Coast aggressive!
