My first job at 15.5yo was the grocery store. I bagged and got carts for work when bagging could be plastic (newer), paper (common), or a combo of both (old people, usually). If you don't return your cart, fuck you! Now I live a few blocks from the same grocery store and return that shit to the inside of the store, grabbing spares sometimes if they're just sitting around in the way. It used to surprise me when someone didn't return it, then the last couple decades happened and it makes more sense. There are just some people who want to be a part of society and others who want to benefit from it while not contributing to it.
It seems there's a certain personality type the managers of stores prefer working out there in the parking lot.
Yeah, when I walk into the store, I grab them from the handicap spots. It's the only place where I say "Okay, you get a pass," when I see carts left, and so I bring em back to the store.
You give people a pass for ditching carts in the handicapped spaces?
Ha, definitely unclear. The presumption is it's a person with a handicap who left it there. I know I've seen some older folks leave them at the end of the spaces and so I guess I'm more inclined to let slide someone who perhaps has some infirmity that makes walking difficult.
Interestingly I've read handicapped individuals prefer there to be a cart next to the handicap parking space. Save having to walk inside before getting a shopping cart that doubles as a walker.
Makes sense in my mind, could be bs though. I certainly haven't done a study.
Jesus Christ, I'm out here disenfranchising the disabled.
As long as you don't dismember them
You just can't win in this thread, can you?
This whole chain was a roller coaster!
Yeah, my husband had cerebral palsy and loved when people left carts in the handicap areas. He'd grab that and use that to walk around the store instead of a cane.
Or a handicap person leaving it there. I don't care I put it back but if people don't who cares. Give the cart person something to do.
Trust me when I say, they don't need an unnecessary amount of work to do. They already get the shit end of the stick by bagging, getting carts, helping patrons, and anything else no one wants to do, but they're usually only in that rough of a spot because management refuses to hire additional baggers to help. The more we can do to help them, the less that's on their plate.
If you got a legit reason to not return your cart, then no problem. But if you can return it to a carroll (spelling?), you should!
I'll always grab two from the corral if there are two of the same size. It's not much harder than bringing one.
Anything to help out our fellow laborers. What goes around will eventually come around for those of us who stick together! Sooner or later I hope we can build a solid coalition of laborers to push back against the robber-Barron's (spelling?) destroying our futures' for profit.
Holy shit these are some good edibles! I rest my case, your honor.
Sir, this i sa Wendy's, or was a Wendy's... until they shut it down... never mind, it's s dispensery now... you're in the right place.
