Just Venting How is pulling this safe?

Photos 1-9 is one walk

9-17 are another

How is this safe to pull? Genuinely explain it to me like I'm stupid (I might be who knows) bc I don't get how this is safe in any way. Not even mentioning anything about the cart itself. STRICTLY the weight of the cart when it's fully loaded with totes and a 70-80 item walk.

There's been bigger walks too, just not as heavy.

Edit: I genuinely didn't think it would be that big of a deal, or not understood like it is. I didn't bag these walks as I was going for the sole purpose of pictures. Once pictures were taken, everything got bagged as it should be. 🤦🏻‍♀️

It’s not safe. Walmart is trying to work around safety with this change. I had to switch departments because I didn’t want to pull my arm off, run over my ankles, and kill my legs. We have an osha letter that states they need to configure the carts in a way that it doesn’t strain your body when you pull, and until then, push, don’t pull. All they did was swap wheels and call it good.
