"We don't have any handbaskets," a grocery store employee reported when she spotted me scanning the self-checkout area.
"Wow," I replied, "it doesn't even seem that busy this afternoon."
"Oh, it's not," she informed me. "We literally have zero handbaskets in the store."
"What happened?" I asked.
"Corporate came for a walkthrough," she shook her head. "We had started with, like, 400 baskets, and we were down to forty." She raised her eyebrows. "People were stealing them, so they just took them all away."
"That's awful," I said as I grabbed a small cart.
"Mm-hmm," she agreed. "Watch out, though," she gestured to my cart. "We don't have many of those either."
