“Eh close enough” and “they have workers to do this.”
~ them, probably
"job creation" they would say as they throw their receipt on the ground before leaving...
"oh man, I have to do what I'm paid for".
~ you, probably
If you know anything about grocery stores, you'd know that relatively few of them actually hire dedicated cart pushers. The people who are asked to go out and get carts are typically people whose primary job is something else that they have to put on hold. And with stores struggling to hold sufficient staffing even before the pandemic made things worse, these are people who are also already very overworked and would probably love to not have to spend longer than needed out in the elements when they're behind on everything else.
Well, in our capitalist, corporately run oligopoly, its essentially the owners' and managers' responsibility to have as few employees as possible and to get them to do as much work as possible, to maximize shareholder profits. If being stressed makes you do more work, they want you to be stressed.
The customer already rings themselves up half the time, as it is. What else can we get them to do?
Should the customer bring the cart back? Probably. Would you like them to also sweep the floor if they track in any dust? Why don't we have the customers just get the products they want off of the truck? Why do we need these companies to pay employees for any of this?
I've pulled carts before. It's not a big deal.
If you're upset over it you're being dramatic for no reason.
Edit. Goddamn people white knighting HARD.
I guarantee most of the people upset here don't even walk the extra ten feet to the corral.
They're not paid to collect carts like litter in the parking lot, they're paid to move the carts from the corral to the store.
They're paid to collect the carts as part of the job. It's not anything special.
