Even better is the moving walkway that you go up with the cart. Cart has
some grooved wheels that let a braking lever stop the cart from rolling
while on the ramp. The Ralph's grocery store in Mission Beach, San Diego
has these.

They have this at a grocery store in Ft Lauderdale. Guess this guy
doesn't get around much.
We don't have very many two level retail stores here outside the malls
which are in some cases over 30 years old. I can't think of even one,
like I said, outside the malls...

It's like when I was in the south. "Over yonder" can mean 50 feet, or
50 miles.. I guess if you consider "getting around" shopping, so be
it, for some it's driving 400 miles to go fishin' of in our case,
surviving another 0.85 mile circuit of a Motocross track

Just pokin' hey, what's with the server?

Rowdy Mouse Racing, quick dismounts suck!

There's a two-level Target store at the Springfield Mall in
Springfield, Virginia. They've got an escalator especially for
shopping carts. I like to watch it!

WTF?!

In Annapolis, the Target is a one level store on the third floor on
top of a two-level parking garage. Store just opened.

Very Cool.

We used to have some free-standing large department stores outside of
malls that were multi-level, but I think most of them have closed.

Ever tell you about the time I Peed my Pants in a Publix?
Never happened.

Yep. In the Target store in Springfied...next to the "people escalator"
there is a escalator for your cart. Takes it up to the second level or
down. I haven't been to that store in a couple of years, so I don't know
if the escalator is still there...but it was a fascinating device.

Target in Gaithersburg MD has the cart escalator too. Just depends upon
how much land the store has to build upon.

I remember Publix...nice store, good produce, lousy breads. Everyone was
suing Publix for one thing or another, usually related to sex
discrimination.

I only visit Montgomery County to shop at MicroCenter or to attend the
Greek Festival. :) The county is too damned crowded for my taste.
Some nice restaurants, though.

parking lot on the weekends.

My local Target has this. It is slick to watch. The big problem is that
they won't let your kids take a ride.

Bull****. The big problem is they won't let *US* take a ride!

Isn't that the truth. The Army shows up on the beach stepping off the
big boats, careful not to get their boots wet. Next, they ask the Navy
where the enemy is, and the Navy points them in the direction of the
front lines. When they get to the front lines they find the Marines have
already routed the enemy and that there is nothing for the Army to do.
