I used to return my cart to the corral, but now I walk it over to the “reserved for law enforcement” spot and leave it there.
The hero we need but don’t deserve.
All Carts Are Bastards
Well done for not being a blight on society.
You should always leave a cart or two in the handicapped section. Walking from the car to the store is a big fear for old people, and being able to grab a cart right by their parking space to help them get across the lot and through traffic is really helpful.
Always do!
Not on the parking spot. Sheesh.
Returning the cart and not littering are the two big indicators of not being a shit person.
I do those things & also clean public restrooms because they’re usually a mess when I go in there, so make it mess-free for the next person who goes in after me. And a certain beach I frequent is notorious for trash so before I can enjoy the beach, I spend about an hour with latex gloves & a trash bag & restore the beach to its undefiled state. No one knows I do these things, no one cares, and nobody pays me for being a secret janitor.
I hate this argument. If i park by a cart at the back of the parking lot I’m going to do exactly what my mother raised me to do and put it back where i found it.

The shopping cart theoryI feel seen
Relatedly, as an admin of c/books, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention a book here.
If you enjoyed the TV show The Good Place, and humorous books about moral philosophy, Mike Schur (the showrunner) covers this in How to be Perfect.
No, thank you.
Only when shopping online though.
At my local CostCo, there is a pathway that cuts across each row of parking spots. At various points along this path are the cart returns. The path is constantly full of carts, meaning that you can’t get to the cart returns. I get way too bent out shape about his every time I go.
Whenever I go to Costco when I’m done shopping I sometimes spend up to a half hour putting carts away, the ones that are most obnoxiously blocking parking spots & pedestrians.
well, good maybe. But that does take away some jobs the store has to fill.
Do you also throw trash on the on the street to create jobs?
I am sorry, but I seriously hate this line of thinking.
It’s such a bullshit excuse to be a shitty person. As if making the cart corral person’s life a little easier would suddenly rob them of job duties, thus leading to a collapse of cart corral wranglers. “If I flush my shit down the toilet, then there won’t be any more janitors!”
TBF one comes out of a store owner’s profits, the other from the city budget
This is a job?
