As you stroll through the local food stalls, carts are lined up.
You are asked to grab one before entering the supermarket,
As you can put all the items you cannot carry with just two hands.
When finding something that you wish to obtain,
It's easy to find a big label hung from the ceiling.
It's pretty much clear to read.
Some labels are easily misunderstood, however.
It could be "sweet", but someone placed junk food there,
And that's when you find another area.
After a bit more strolling, you glanced at your shopping list.
You finally got the favorite food you wanted,
And now it's time to buy some dishwashing materials.
It's possible to put them all in one cart,
They will still be physically distinguishable,
But don't wonder if the food starts absorbing the material's smell.
Now that you're done with the list, you proceed to check out with the cashier.
They placed the items in bags, and you placed them inside the cart.
You pushed it towards the parking lot and opened the trunk of your car.
After placing the bags in their respective places,
You just left the cart empty and drove off.
Another person took it and put it back in its original place.
When you return to that same supermarket, don't expect the same cart any longer.
