I mean, covering it actually stops rain from washing the cream off the top.

Gotta love how a broken cart turns into a full on customer service emergency but the self checkout machines can be broken for months and nobody cares. I swear stores will send a manager sprinting across the floor for a squeaky wheel but you can't get anyone to fix the ice machine that's been dripping for two years. It's like they're only good at reacting to the small stuff while everything else just falls apart around them.

Man, I gotta push back a little here. Look, I get it, $180 adds up, but compared to all the other junk we burn money on without blinking (like, say, streaming services or coffee runs) it's sorta small potatoes. And honestly, @janab82 has a point - it's more about the annoyance than the actual dent in your wallet. I'd rather focus my energy on the big monthly bills that really sting, you know?

My car's held together by zip ties and good vibes.

Got burned almost the exact same way last summer. Saw a "deal" on some web slings from a shady website, paid like 60 bucks for a set of four. First time I tried using one to lift a skid steer attachment, the sleeve started splitting right down the middle as soon as the load took tension. Lucky nobody was under it. I checked the tag after and it was some company I never heard of, no certification stamps or anything. I just pitched the whole lot in the dumpster and went back to buying from the local supply house.
