dsommer Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 So I ran over to the local Wal-Mart last evening to grab a few things (driving 03 G35 Infiniti sedan, black). When I parked I noticed there was a cart parked at the front left corner of my car, no big deal, normally I'd grab it and haul it into the store with me. Nope not gonna do it this time. Run in the store, pick up 7 specific items, check out return to car and find that some a$$hole(s) have not only bumped my car with one shopping cart but TWO!!! The one scraped the drivers fender not too bad it will buff out but the second one left a small dent in the drivers door. That I'm concerned about. I removed the carts and went back into the store where I asked to speak with a manager. I filled out some paperwork and then showed her the dent. She said somebody from their claims dept would be in touch with me. Today I received a call from their claims dept so the ball is rolling. The dent is not resolved at this point BUT if you go to W-M and find a cart has hit your car, go talk to a manager, they have insurance for these incidents. They have cameras all over the place, they may not be able to make out faces but somebody parking a cart against my car they can see. I'll update to let you all know where this goes.

DavyZ Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Yep, at the local supermarket I found a parking place right up front....where the shopping carts are left by a$$holes to slowly but surely make their way off of the sidewalk entrance off the curb and into the cars parked in front. I came out to find my 2006 Honda Civic with a dent in the hood. I was NOT happy. I feel your pain. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003z Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Sorry about your damage, that really stinks. A cart attacked my wife's old Blazer at a Publix grocery store here in atlanta. Even though they had signs saying they weren't responsible, their insurance paid for the damages. Its the store's responsiblity (regardless of signage), and they have insurance for it, so never just live with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonsZ Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I get my Z on the road and not more than 2 hours after I start it for the first time someone SLAMS my driver door so severely that 1" of paint is chipped off and the dent is about 1/4" in. Luckily for my nerves it was one of about 5 chips on the driver door since the paintjob is 5 years old. But really if I had bought a new car I'd have been so p-o'd. I kinda like the scratch and ding car because then you don't care about fixing it when you get another. If I got hit with a shopping cart I'd probably just go home.
