I found the store you used to managed. Present manager (shown) says he got rid of the carts because you said he would be liable. But he says that he will keep the dogs.

A Kentucky family’s $15,000 Carnival Cruise vacation they had been planning for a year was canceled just two days before the ship was set to sail after they accidentally shared their booking number online in a case of identity theft.
Tiffany Banks was devastated to learn that her trip aboard the Carnival Celebration ship with her husband and their four kids was canceled without her knowledge the day before the family was going to fly to Florida to leave on the boat.
Banks said in a series of TikTok videos that she had no idea their vacation, for which they had already paid in full, was trashed until she got an email about off-ship excursion cancellations and called to investigate.
A Carnival customer service representative told her that she had canceled her $12,000 reservation for the ship’s largest room — the Excel Presidential Suite — through the online system.
The mom and nurse practitioner said she went into “a full-blown panic” and she and her four kids were all in tears.
“We have nearly $15,000 tied up in for this vacation including excursions. The room itself was I think $12,000 or $13,000, and then we’ve got a few grand tied up in excursions, and actually with almost $2,000 for flights,” she said in a May 12 TikTok video.
Banks said she never canceled the trip and wondered if it was a system glitch.
Carnival said the room they had booked was now reserved by another customer and offered the family two interior rooms — the cheapest on the ship — instead, but the mom did not feel it was an adequate replacement.
Carnival also refused to offer a full refund as its cancellation policy states that no money will be returned within 15 days of the cruise date.

The ship was built with slave labor.
I found the store you used to managed. Present manager (shown) says he got rid of the carts because you said he would be liable. But he says that he will keep the dogs.
“Huh?”
I didn’t stutter ...
“The ship was built with slave labor.”

“You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account. It is also your sole obligation to immediately notify Carnival of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security,” reads Carnival’s cruise contract.
Just a riff on your ant capitalist thing. Can’t imagine anything more capitalistic than tourists paying lots of money for a vacation cruise on a really expensive ship with food, booze and entertainment.
You can’t contract away negligence however hard you try.
“You can’t contract away negligence however hard you try.”
If I post my account number and password and someone takes my money the bank is responsible?
“It’s funny all the arm chair lawyers on here.”

Name calling to divert from the subject question I asked ...
Then surely you can cite an example where the grocery store is responsible for any damage caused by carts in the lot ...
I can tell you how to win if you like. Just take a video/photo of the lot when the carts aren’t being properly maintained. Like when they are short staffed. Then present that at court and you’ll win.
If you go unprepared you’ll lose. The stores know a decent lawyer knows this and they will find a time when the store didn’t manage the carts properly so they just pay it. Instead of fighting it with legal fees only to gamble on “winning” where their legal fees will out weigh a scratch fix on a car.
Only if the customer is asking for a crazy amount do you fight it.
Sorry, did you say something? I wasn’t paying attention.
“I can tell you how to win if you like. Just take a video/photo of the lot when the carts aren’t being properly maintained.”
That is negligence. Interesting that you omitted this basic fact of law ...
“Sorry, did you say something? I wasn’t paying attention.”
You clicked on my post so you were attentive.
What grocery store have you been to that hasn’t been negligent with their shopping carts at least once per week yet along several times per day.
From your posts I gather that you are now saying that grocery stores are not responsible for shopping cart damage unless they are found to be negligent!
I find this omission by a lawyer to be negligent.
“What grocery store have you been to that hasn’t been negligent with their shopping carts at least once per week yet along several times per day.”
None.
Leaving a few carts loose in the lot is not negligence if you have a program of maintaining the carts. Every store I go to has cart return areas and active cart retrieval programs.
Cart return areas don’t mean jack. Unless they are in every other parking spot. You just need one that is “far” away and you win.
