I mean if cats are allowed they should allow dogs as well. I am also highly allergic to cats and break out in hives and a rash if I am around them to much. Got no problem with both
Right, I think you misunderstood. A person wasn’t able to take their dog with them to work at City Hall. In retaliation they wanted the cat gone from the Library.

Here in Philippines its expected for you to leave it be at the parking spot. Someone from the Mall/ Supermarket management will return it. There is someone doing a dedicated job for it. Not sure if it’s a bad courtesy in here. But you would be probably robbing someone’s job for it. The same is also with going up and down with elevators. Though not common in office buildings. I guess this probably started in USA as a cost saving idea for the companies, similar to how they convince us that jaywalking is bad and not tipping is bad.
In Europe the carts are chained together. You have to put in a coin (50c, 1 or 2€) to get one. You get the money back we you bring it back to the chain. No big deal. Everyone brings their cart back. No idea why American supermarkets refuse to do this…
Where I live more and more supermarkets don’t do this, especially since the pandemic. The coin mechanisms are expensive to maintain, and it turns out that the overwhelming majority of people were raised correctly and will return the cart anyway. Where else would you put the cart anyway? In the parking lane? Surely maneuvering your car around a stray shopping cart can’t be more convenient than just putting the cart back!
There is still someone that grabs them. They are just collected in one place rather than looking everywhere for them. It also makes it better for people with nicer cars that don’t run the risk of random carts hitting their car.
Maybe? not sure we’re even that stage yet in Philippines. Is it really demeaning? Maybe that is in your view. I think the people manning those probably don’t think so.
Better pay yes everyone prefers that, as for the job itself is humiliating not sure about that. Maybe it’s a cultural thing that I’m not getting. If the job pays you to grab carts and put it in their place and pays fair enough then what is humiliating for that? Let’s imagine taste testers for dog food is that job humiliating if it pays well? What would be humiliating is if the job like putting carts to their right place requires you to be a college graduate and they pay low. Maybe that is what your referring.
Yes. Being out in any weather taking care of something because other people are too lazy to do so is humiliating. I have no idea why you think it isn’t.
And are they really getting paid fairly? If I looked up the pay of someone who returns carts, would it be a comparable wage to someone sitting in an office all day despite it being a much more physically demanding job?
Because otherwise, I think you and I have very different definitions of “fairly.”
What’s humiliating about being a cart manager? It’s a need and most folks generally appreciate it. My buddy was one for a while and he was able to maintain his physical fitness while feeling like he was able to genuinely help others, it was really only the poor pay that was a problem.
I just told you what’s humiliating about it- Being forced to work in all kinds of weather doing something only because people are too rude to do it themselves. I’m glad your buddy didn’t find ingratiating himself to people who are richer and more successful than him humiliating, but in general, most people would. Maybe he should look into becoming a butler.
There is a bit of German internet lore here. Shopping carts are called Gittertiere (grille animals). And there’s also a community Gittertiere on feddit.de where we post grille animals in the wild, living their natural lives (abandoned shopping carts).
This grille animal was “stuffed”, more accurately translated to taxidermied, which I expressed my sadness about.
I had to do it to impress Bill Clinton. Side note, he gave me the worst handshake I’ve ever had in my life, just competely limp, dead fish style. So I don’t give a shit if he was impressed with how many crunches I could do.
When there’s barriers and a line of guys are waiting cuz they’re obeying the gap rule, I love seeing their looks of confused frustration as I walk right up to one of the free urinals. Not my fault yall are fragile and insecure
