Have you ever drifted a shopping cart? Its so fun. It should become a real sport. Navigating the aisle of some of these stores is a real sport and drifting is the best way. Quite fun to do.
Does anyone else agree with me?

I love doing this. But sometimes you gotta be careful because if you drift in the wine/alcohol isle and you crash... Its OVER

I've never drifted them, but I have practiced maneuvering them at high speed. Assume we are talking about the metal type shopping cart. You rest one foot on the crossbar on the back. You lean forward and put your elbows on the sides and grab onto the side of the cart. You push off with your other foot and you also use that pushing foot as a sort of friction brake on the ground. If you want to turn left you put your foot on the left side and drag it on the ground and it will make it turn left.

There is a documentary on Youtube about homeless people who drive with shopping carts on the road and do racing and stuff with them:

[AutoMod] action=keep R:10 E:10 N:10 C:10 | Detailed personal experience directly related to the thread topic, combining multiple perspectives (trolley collection, warehouse floor picking) and technical observations (speed, control, workplace dynamics). Fresh take on the theme with unique insights.

I worked as a trolley collector, I'd always ride and drift my cart lines (6-10 carts) around the parking lot, felt like trying to drift a truck. It was good fun. It was good fun, but had to be discreet because people would complain if they saw.
Did a similar thing floor picking in a warehouse. It was probably a 'safety violation', but when you have to maintain a hundred items an hour for a ten hour shift, the rules must be bent. It's faster and more energy conservative to ride carts down an aisle than to walk them everywhere, but the aisles are barely wide enough for two carts, so your control has to be on point. I could do 120 to 150 items per hour if I went hard. Could've gone beyond if I didn't have to worry about cameras and snitching coworkers. It was a tightass workplace with a ton of security and monitoring.
