@grivettcarnac These are new ones? They've always had some, I know because I pushed strollers through there at least once a week for years. Always annoying because they'd force us to use a really indirect route through the busy part of the parking lot. Surely there's a better way to deal with shopping carts. That whole mall is really against anyone walking to it. Wanna walk there? Just walk through a giant parking lot to access any door. The Loblaws door is the closest for me but they really don't like you using it. They'd much prefer for you to dodge buses at the main entrance.
@grivettcarnac I always had to go down the side to push the stroller up the sidewalk, but presumably your bike is narrower than my stroller was. They probably need one of those conveyor belt things that grocery stores especially in malls had in the old days. You'd (or the employee would) stick your bags in a bin and it would go on a conveyor belt to the outside where you'd pick up your bags. The fancy system at the mall grocery store near my house involved giving you a ticket and the conveyor belt would send you grocery bins underground to a little building in the parking lot where you'd pick up your groceries. No carts were allowed outside the grocery store because.
@grivettcarnac because it was a mall. Lol. Carlingwood is an old mall and they still haven't figured out how to make it pedestrian friendly let alone accessible.
@grivettcarnac Hell is having to walk through that awful parking lot on hot, sunny, summer days. Unfortunately, due to the streets in that neighbourhood refusing to go in straight lines, the fastest way to walk to the carlingwood library for me is walking down Carling and through the mall.
