Lowe's has always had brakes on their lumber carts as far back as I can
remember (which my wife will tell you isn't even as far back as yesterday).
Also, as a side note, the HEB store here (a grocery chain in Texas) even has
brakes on some of their baskets (the ones designed for carrying kids on a
built in bench).

About a year or so ago...before we had any Lowe's in my area...I was
shopping for lumber at Home Depot...as I'd often done in the past.

Trying to load a sheet of plywood was always a pain! It wasn't that
the sheets were too heavy or bulky to slide onto the cart. It was
that there was no brake on the cart...especially when unloading. When
you went to slide the plywood, the cart would move, too.

I mentioned to a manager at HD that they put some kind of a brake on
the cart...so that it wouldn't move when loading and unloading. I
haven't bought any big items like that since then from HD.

The other day, I bought 4 windows from Lowe's...and the clerk loaded
up the windows from the warehouse area out back and brought the cart
back to his desk...while I shopped for the small items I needed.

When I came back to pick up my windows...and push them to the front
cashier...I couldn't get the cart to budge. I asked the clerk...and
he said I needed to take off the brake!

Does HD have a brake on their lumber carts yet? Do other Lowe's
locations have that brake?

I wonder if my suggestion is what revolutionized the industry! lol


Have a nice week...
