In b4 someone unironically tries to defend not putting their cart back. There's always one.
Confirmed, it seems one did. Sigh.
My husband wouldn't put the cart away.
But he has cerebral palsy which made walking back to the car without the cart for stability difficult when he was shopping alone. He actively liked if someone left a cart in the handicapped hatch mark area because then it would be close so he could grab that going into the store and be balanced against it.
He did know it wasn't ideal though, and I'd take the carts back when I started shopping with him.
Anyone parking in a handicap spot is the one type of person no one should judge when they don't put their cart away.
Shouldn't, but people absolutely do judge them! They also judge if they think you shouldn't be in a handicap spot period. So many people get huffy when they see my (what appears to be) able body get out of the car then...oh shit, my visibly disabled husband!
People getting upset about handicap spots are morons. I'm sure there is some overlap between them and those who don't return carts.
Every rule has its exception, it makes sense that physically handicapped people shouldn't be treated as strictly with rules concerning physical activities.
I don't have time for that. and someone else gets paid to do it!

Sometimes I don't put the cart in the corral...
I take it back into the store because it's closer than the nearest corral. Or I take my bags out before I go into the parking lot and leave the cart in the lobby cart storage.
Idk. I put my cart back but I have heard an occasional decent argument why someone wouldn't.
One of the biggest ones is a single parent shopping alone with multiple small children. I get that ideally the cart corral probably isn't super far away, but leaving small kids alone for even a short period of time must be nerve wracking and not always safe depending on the area and climate.
Have had mutinies small children. Always put the cart away. Doors lock and children aren't that fragile.
bruh, I was trained as a child to put them back, we would start putting them back as soon as our parents lift the last bag out of it
probably a hot take but if your child can walk by themselves, putting the cart back is definitely a doable chore.
The CEO isn't paying that salary. It's a cost of business. A business you're paying for as a customer. All the customers pay a percentage of a nickel extra for shopping in a store that has a cart returner on the payroll.
I suppose ithe job pays badly and isn't very interesting. It's not something I'd waste my life doing. I wouldn't want my kids to do it either. Actually I wouldn't recommend it for anyone. Life has much more to offer than pushing carts all day.
So, congratu-fucking-lations, you've created a job that nobody ought to do and made everyone pay for keeping a sorry ass kid on poverty wage.
Ok, so you'd argue that by pushing the cart back, then you're the one doing the same meaningless job for free. Good point, right?
But here's the catch: Nobody ever needs to return a cart.
There are at least two ways to do this.
One: We can all accept that the cart doesn't have a home to be returned to and just leave them wherever and pick them up at the same place. This is obviously the chaotic neutral way.
Two: Pack your groceries in bags in the cart after (or while) paying. When you push the cart back towards the car, you walk by the cart corral, pick up your bags and walk to the car while leaving the cart in the corral. It's fucking magic.
One? Like a solid 10% of the thread wtf
Should've said at least one
Now there's more than one and they're running mental gymnastics to claim that pro-social behavior is simping for corpos. Special kind of entitled faux-leftism there.
