Trolley Solution

Every Saturday morning, I see them at every bus stop. The trolley ladies. The Chinese (but not always) ladies (but not always) of a certain age (always) with wheeled grocery totes en route to somewhere. I've seen them on multiple routes, and I'm never quite sure where they're headed. Most of the time, I get by with carrying my groceries in a backpack and a bag and try to convince myself that I'm young and strong. But every once in awhile, when there are too many canned goods on the shopping list, I join the caravan and bust out a trolley of my own. Just one of more old Chinese lady in these streets. 

Today, my destination was Trader Joe's. And the cashier did such a nice job of putting all the heavy items in the bottom of the trolley and working up from there that I felt compelled to take a picture. (Look at how neatly the flat items stacked on top!) Thank you, Thoughtful Trader Joe's Cashier, you made an old lady's day.
