Nobody posted the copypasta yet? I guess it's gotta be me, then.

Always cart corral or reserved police parking.

How else do I get my £ back?

This is mostly an American thing. They/we tend to be more entitled and very selfish. Often making excuses for bad behavior with lines like "I'm keeping people employed". No stupid, you're increasing our groceries because of your selfishness.

Now I live in Taiwan and have visited many countries and found out that this is not the norm. Most people care about the community their live in and oftentimes put back their carts.

Another example of American entitlement. Americans often throw trash on the ground in parking lots because the trash cans are too far away or they can't find one. Again the same excuses, "Keeping these people employed".

In Taiwan(and Japan), if you can't find a trash can, you take your trash home with you. You actually have a hard time finding a bin in public here. But our streets are typically very clean. Because we care about the community and the people here are less selfish.

In b4 someone unironically tries to defend not putting their cart back. There's always one.

The litmus test for civility.

You'd have to be some sort of lazy bones to not do something so simple.

fucking ALWAYS.

The most basic test to separate people from beasts.

I used to work at a Costco. There were two long stretches of parking lot that had no cart corrals anywhere nearby. They were at the farthest points of the lot on either end. Despite all the employees begging them to add a corral in those spots the manager never did. But he would always complain about carts being abandoned way out there constantly.

I think a 30 seconds round trip to return a cart is more than fair. If you cannot reasonably locate a Coral (or the store does not have one within that walking distance timeframe) I think its fair to attempt to store the cart in such a manner that it doesn't block someone else trying to park.

All that being said the average shopper at our location wouldn't even attempt to find a corral. Often times they would just leave them in the empty space next to their car blocking a parking spot. Usually within 20 feet of an actual corral. Sometimes they would literally yell at one of the cart runners from a distance something like "wouldn't wanna put you out of a job!" Before they just left their cart slowly rolling across the lot unattended.

If you ever want to lose whatever small amount of hope you had left for the basic decency of the human race just work at a Costco for a little while.

People would leave their trash in the carts constantly. They would spill food and drinks all over the kids seats and just leave them there. They would almost never put them into the corrals properly. They would just shove them towards the corral from a distance which almost always cause the carts to jam up at angles and then the corral would over flow and eventually people would just leave them with their front wheels put over the curbs right next to the corrals that was now spilling over with 7 carts because nobody decided to properly put the cart away and instead just pushed it to the edge and called it quits.

I have worked all kinds of service jobs over the years. Costco by far had the most selfish and shitty customer base out of all of them. You can tell by the way many of them spoke to employees that they felt entitled to treating everyone like shit because they paid a membership. Hell some of them would even say exactly that whenever they felt even slightly inconvenienced or slighted. Just right out the gate with "I pay a membership fee blah blah blah blah". Every once in a blue moon they had s legitimate argument to be making, but 99% of the time they were just throwing s fit because they wanted to get their way and the managers would bend over backwards for the customers every single fuckin time.

Sorry this turned into a rant about the worst job I ever had.

Yeah many people are too selfish to put away a shopping cart these days.

There are some of you out there that really can't return the cart. Maybe it's your own mobility issues; maybe it's children, animals, or something else that you can't leave unattended in the vehicle; maybe you just ran out of spoons picking up your medical supplies; whatever reason--I got chu, fam.

When I turn around to return my cart, I always look for stragglers and bring them back. I'm forever alone, but healthy, so getting carts back to their "home" is the least I can do.

joke's on you, i use a shopping bag
