| I went to lowes and Costco today and while pushing the shopping cart, every few paces and I receive a zap through the shopping cart handlebar. Less than 5 paces and it's zap! I gave up and carried everything by hand. My shoes are rubber sole. I've been to both stores before and never had this happen to me What's happening? |
| I've had that happen before, but only in Wal-Mart stores. Always zaps me right in between my thumb and index finger when holding the cart handle. I think usually it's new shopping carts or new flooring when it happens. Years ago I remember they actually had a little grounding strap attached to the carts at some of the stores, I assume to prevent customers from getting shocked. |
