I like your optimistic vibe. I believe they'll be gone by Friday night.
Yeeted into the Hudson, like those tables and chairs.

Fuck them chairs edited to add: the table didn’t deserve it, though

Crazy. Can't wait to do my shopping and carry my groceries and new basket back home.

It's just amazing how many people feel free to just take these home. The Home Depot stopped having baskets for this reason, fortunately they have 5 gal buckets by the door that I use when I'm shopping light. Perhaps SR should explore some SR branded buckets, they might not wander away as fast as baskets.

A 5 Gal bucket would be much more useful at home than a basket

Well apparently you're in the minority since the baskets walk from HD and the buckets don't.
imaluckyduckie t1_janqmza wrote
That's just because they charge for the buckets and not the baskets
Blecher_onthe_Hudson t1_jap44lb wrote
So walking out with the basket isn't stealing because it's not for sale?
Home Depot has such a problem with people walking out with power tools right past the employees that they're implementing a system where the tools need to be activated digitally at checkout to be able to work.

They budget out for shrink. Most profitable stores have a decent budget for losses. If they want to replace them, it comes out of that budget.
I'm not openly condoning, relieving Home Depot of their overpriced and fisherprice quality tools. I'm only saying that if someone whisked away all the power tools from every home depot, I wouldn't lose any sleep.

Is that why there's so many Home Depot carts just chilling on random blocks lol?

According to The Prophecy, it should open in 729769.5 days. Depending on what type of life form you are it may be worth the wait.

Never crossed my mind why there were no baskets at the store. And I never use the carts cause of the geofence and b/c they’re one wheelie away from not existing.

Are there like smart locks on them? Just wondering what their strategy is to keep the baskets in the store.
Own_Pop_9711 t1_janm8ko wrote
What is supposed to lock?

What do people do with these baskets?
khalibthegreat t1_jaozr07 wrote
I imagine the folk to cheap to buy or forgetful of their totes just take and use the baskets as bags. Notice these weren’t around recently but never thought about why.
