Fine Misusers of Shopping Carts
In The Times on July 11, the Anaheim City Council announced that it will try to repeal the shopping cart law. It wants to hold the owners of the carts responsible for picking them up.
The owners are not the ones causing the blight on Anaheim streets. Why not hold the people responsible who use them for strollers, laundry carts and shopping carts to take home or leave in the streets as they see fit?
I have been a resident of Anaheim for more than 30 years, and I see this go on every day. To put the burden on the store owner only is unfair. Maybe if these people were fined every time they take a cart from the store, they will think about it and find other ways to get their kids and groceries home.
