Shopping Cart

by Jeff Johnson

Overview

Gary agrees to a road trip with his buddies, a crazy business opportunity that arises when his pal Kevin inherits Billings Spray-N-Wax, a multi-state service that cleans and repairs grocery store shopping carts. What the heck – there's not much for the guys to do during the long boring summer in Seattle. But this picaresque journey entails a lot more than "scenic roadside diners ... neon signs ... waitresses with big hair. Flapjacks. Rubens. This American Life. Tom Waits. On The Road ... Tarantino motels. Route 66 postcard places with pools and trashy bikini chicks from Alabama and Tucumcari. Old fashioned vending machines with pull knobs ... and gas station nachos ..." You see, Kevin's Uncle Chester transported stolen goods as a sideline. And the fence – Ralston Orley – wants his package. People will die. This is a summer job Gary will long remember. And so will you.
