Does anyone else call shopping carts "baskets"?
Man, I hate when people call soda "pop". Pop is what happens to a balloon, not what you drink.
I call them baskets sometimes. But I think most of the time I call them cart.
But I do say "put it in the basket" in regards to putting things in the cart.
I hate when people say "Coke" and mean something different. Used to drive me nuts working at the concession stand...
"I'd like a Coke please... gimme a Sprite." WTF?
