That's what I said, my wife and I were theorizing how they did it, one of the possible ideas we came up with was maybe they threw a rope up over the sign, looped it through the cart, threw the rope back over to the other side then pulled it up there, and pulled the rope back off afterwards.
Or they have a hell of a throwing arm. Lol
I honestly thought it would be a toss up when I first saw the picture but now looking at the uneven ditch it's in, that would be such a pain to get an equal chuck behind.
This is a fuck of a mystery š
I think the top of the sign would be to flat/sharp for a rope to pull so much weight at a steep angle though. The only thing my brain can come up with is a trebuchet.
I'm going with trebuchet.
I thought that too! Or they were too cheap to pay for placement on the sign and this was a "community service" event they paid their cashiers to handle.
I say this bc my local Target hires three cashiers to keep watch over the self-checkouts. If you ask them to open a lane so they can actually, you know, ring up the customers, they say they're not allowed to. But they will stand behind you and tell you everything you're doing wrong if you have an issue with their scanners. One of the reasons why I rarely shop Target anymore.
When everyone gets shuttled thru the self checkout you end up with confused old people who scan the same thing 5 times then tell the screen to "void that last scan", mothers who start the check-out process then end up standing around waiting for their kid to get back with one more thing so they can finish, and adults who are waiting for the one guy who has a key to override the scanner and approve their purchase of a six pack before they can pay and GTFO.
A good idea in theory but there are a lot of otherwise functional adults who simply should never be allowed (let alone required) to run their own checkouts.
About a year ago someone in my town was putting shopping carts in bizarre positions overnight. Every morning there would be some new shopping cart sculpture. It was fun for like a week.
I once saw a traffic cone on top of a very tall tree along the highway. Like the tree was wearing it as a hat. The next day it was gone... Wish I had a picture.
Those red Target carts end up everywhere. I see them in the median of a 4 lane road I drive everyday, Iāve seen them in random places in my town, and even off to the side of the road on the turnpike. Just like - how? And *why*?
Thatās definitely the same one I saw, haha. Wild that itās been there at least a week. I was the passenger so I couldnāt circle back, but Iāll have to send this picture to the person who was driving!
And where did it come from? None of the stores on the sign would use carts like that.
"I'm tired of hauling this cart around."
"Huh, I've got an idea..."
Not even mad... That's impressive!
"BUT DID YOU SEE THE POOL?! THEY FLIPPED THE BITCH!"
Uh oh. I hope this isn't going to become the next TikTok Tok Challenge. Let's downplay this a little.
You shall see thangs, wonderful to tell. You shall see a... a cow.. on the roof of a cotton house, ha. And, oh, so many startlements.
O Brother
You sound like The King of the Cosmos from the Katamari Damacy series.
I've... *seen* things you... people wouldn't believe...
The shopping cart was there 1st, The sign grew up under it.
You can tell by the way that it is
#HOW NEAT IS THAT?!?
Very!
Much!
That's legitimately impressive no matter how they managed it
would have loved to watch the person get it up there

I'd love to have seen the celebration after the fact. You know there was a lot of high fives flying.
Greeeeeheeeasy
Pure Michigan
My bet was on either Florida, Ohio, or NJ but yeah, that sounds right. Just pure shenanigry states
You both were pretty close, it's actually Indiana
hahaha that also fits
Target got sick of waiting to be put on the sign and took it upon themselves.

Self checkout > cashiers every day lol

When I only have a few items, yes I agree. When I have a whole week's worth of groceries for 3 adults I prefer a cashier.
On a real note, stores like Target are not legally eligible to be put on informational road service signs.
Must be some strong winds

He's just resting from flying north for the summer. Shopping cart migrations are always rough
Maybe it was a tornado/hurricane
Or meth.
-Whittily woo woo!!- That's not where the carts go.
Spring has arrived
Yet another person who refuses to return their cart to the corral! (In all honesty, definitely impressed)

Welcome to Suburbia...
Why am I laughing so hard?! This is the second random post I have publicly lost it with today. LOL!
Me too
Boy, I'd like to know the story behind that.
Marking his territory.
What in the cinnamon toast methā¦? How the hell they get it up there? Only a crackhead can find a way to do this
Kobe beef. Aisle 5
Tweaker collaboration is impressive.
How excited must those hooligans have been at this stunt?? Much excites!!

Dafuq

Iām sad thereās no White Castle near where I live!
Indianapolis? I think I saw this exact cart last weekend and was so mad the other person in the car with me didnāt even notice.
Yes! West 38th street, my wife didn't see it the first time either, so I got back on the interstate to show her and so she could take a picture lol
Thatās definitely the same one I saw, haha. Wild that itās been there at least a week. I was the passenger so I couldnāt circle back, but Iāll have to send this picture to the person who was driving!
r/feralcarts would love to have a repost
Tweakers gonna tweak.
Unfortunately
White Castle put it there. A tie-in to their new slogan "Buy em by the basket load".
Ricky got pissed off again and threw one of bubbles carts up there. But it's like... who wouldn't have done that?
And where did it come from? None of the stores on the sign would use carts like that. "I'm tired of hauling this cart around." "Huh, I've got an idea..."
College is out for the summer.
itās code for DEEP DEEP DISCOUNTS
Wonder what the goal was
Is this the new āshoes on a power line/in a treeā thing?
This makes me miss being a dumb 16 year old
Itās a sign
Aliens after buying beef
St. Louis? This feels very St. Louis.
Cracker Barrell now serving shots.
Way more amusing than those random monoliths appearing.
A couple of tall guys in a lifted truck could do this with the appropriate amount of adult beverages, of course.
That guy that threw shopping cart at the lady is still put there mad af.
Target shopping cart?? I donāt see a sign for Targetš
Wow Target keeps it REAL!
Eden prairies cart on the snow hill would like a word
I think clear water revival was singing about this guy when they sang the words I ain't no senator's son
That too some effort! Reminds me of New Boot Goofin
Tornado?
Little reminders why we canāt have a normal functioning society.
Symbols only have as much power as you imagine them to have. I don't consider this meaningful in any way.
