Somehow, #Costco was out of carts. I don't know how that happens. There were people waiting at the entrance, trailing other people to their cars to grab their carts.
"No sweat," I told the security people at the store entrance. "I brought my own cart."
@Andres4NY I've taken the compact cargo bike or the trailer/stroller into the grocery store, rolled the longtail into home depot to load up lumber, but the bakfiets in a costco seems like you're planting a flag.
@enobacon This is the same Costco where someone stole the seat off my #Yuba#Kombi ~6 months ago. So I am absolutely going to do this every time. The flag has been planted.
I started out the adventure thinking, "rather than park next to the street risking theft and having to deal with getting the cart on the elevator, why not bike right into the parking garage (descending from 1st FL to basement) and park next to the actual store entrance?" Then they were out of carts, and so...
@WhiteCatTamer We still have some in the fridge, so didn't need to get the grillos. The tofu's near the pickles; in the fridge section, next aisle over or so. But it's in a box of 4, and doesn't look like tofu. Just looks like a box.
@meganL I find big box hardware stores in particular don't really care, so long as you don't ride it through the store. Or I'm male and white and can get away with it. I've never tried in a smaller store.
@pjrt Nope! I got some stares, but no one said anything. Except for the guy behind me in line, who was telling me about his sit-down scooter that he bought and wanting to nerd out about batteries.
