I refused to fight with a woman over a shopping cart and went inside to shop. When I came back, my driver’s door was badly damaged — and she was watching me.
I left my groceries beside the cart return and started walking toward her.
The woman stopped smiling.
She was standing near a white SUV, keys in one hand, purse over her shoulder.
I pointed toward my car.
“Did you do that?”
Her expression changed instantly.
“What?”
“You heard me.”
She looked past me toward the shopping cart wedged against my driver’s side door.
Then she shrugged.
“Maybe you shouldn’t leave your car where carts can hit it.”
That answer told me more than a denial would have.
I took out my phone.
Her face tightened.
“What are you doing?”
“Taking a picture of your license plate.”
She stepped in front of it.
“Don’t photograph my car.”
I looked at her.
“You were laughing while looking at mine.”
“I’m allowed to laugh.”
“Great. Keep doing it.”
I moved sideways and took the picture.
My name is Amanda. I’m 34, and until that Saturday, I never imagined a shopping cart could end up in a police report.
I had stopped at Walmart because we were out of almost everything.
Milk. Cereal. Laundry detergent. Chicken.
The kind of shopping trip where the receipt looks like a small mortgage payment.
My husband, Nate, was home with our two kids because our youngest had a fever.
I expected to be gone an hour.
Instead, it all started before I even got inside.
There were rows of carts near the entrance.
I grabbed one.
Then a woman behind me shouted, “Excuse me! That was MY cart!”
I turned around.
She was probably in her mid-50s.
