And I think it all depends on the walmart too...the one in Redlands is always fine with mine...I put them in their cart cover...no issues...but the walmart closer to me has a cow...so we don't go there....one carries lots of food...in refrigerator cases etc...the Redlands one just has one aisle of canned foods, coffees and teaS...i wonder if that makes a difference.
