My retirement plan:
1. Install myself as head of a supermarket chain somehow,
2. Mandate that carts be positioned all around the inside of the store,
3. Same-store sales immediately rise 2% as people are no longer constrained from impulse buying by arm capacity,
4. Cash in them options and travel to space or buy twitter or whatever.

Cambridge Department of Public Works’ branding in general, and as implemented on these utility covers in particular, is undefeated.
I choose to believe that “The Works” was the result of a ‘Parks and Rec” style. employee submission contest.
I'm mostly sure that the Berenstain Bears are a product of American gender role sexism, and not the actual root cause of it, but standing by for more data
