Returning the cart means a lot of people unnecessarily walking though the parking lot, which could increase the chance of an accident happening. It is better and safer, at least here where I live, to let the staff do the job one time, from time to time.
Edit: downvote all you want, but my safety has higher priority than the convenience of the store.
That’s a clever way to rationalize being lazy. A grocery store operating that way near me would quickly have zero customers. Perhaps your typical layout is different from ours.
Cart returns in the US are typically positioned throughout the parking lot. It is quite straightforward to just return the cart to the proper spot, usually right near where I parked.
If I left my cart just next to my car or something, the next person to arrive would not have a safe place to park, due to the hazard posed by carts flailing around the parking lot. People do so occasionally, of course. If it happens a lot, though, I would turn around and leave. I’m not returning every cart for them and I don’t want my car destroyed.
I don’t live in the US. Here are spots next to the car spots to let the cart for the staff to pick later, but go ahead, judge everybody else by your metrics and costumes.
That’s…exactly what I was describing, all while right up front acknowledging that others might do the layout and process differently. Is English not your first language? If you wont put your cart in the cart return, you are lazy. You seem to just want an excuse to be rude, so i will move on and say good day.
I think voting rights should be tied to returning carts to the little cart thing. It’s such a simple act that provides almost no personal benefit to the person doing it (apart from just “doing the right thing”), but in my mind the kind of person who does it is being respectful and considerate of their fellow person. People who don’t return the carts and just leave them sitting around are trash and shouldn’t have any say in how the rest of society functions (handicapped folks would obviously get a pass).
When the air is too intense, it can move carts around and break them into a parked or even a moving car. I didn’t believe it before I saw it myself. One another reason to fix them in a corral. Redoing a paint job after such random shit’s what I wish not to myself, nor to anyone.
In 45 years living in Germany I haven’t seen once a free roaming cart in a car park, the only ones I’ve seen are abducted ones, from homeless people etc standing somewhere under a tree or shit where they can’t cause problems. Just saying.
There’s a Twitter or 4chan post floating around about how putting the cart back is the apex test of your humanity because there’s no reward for doing it and no consequences for not. It’s just “are you a good enough dude to put the cart back?”
(Unless you live near one of those places where you “rent” the cart for a coin, in which case there is a slim monetary value in cart management.)
I haven’t been to a grocery store in many many years now. that applies to any other than convenience stores. why would you waste your time on this shit? I do have housekeeper for the same reason. and a chef for when I feel like eating at home
Many laptops are made with the US ANSI layout and other layouts like UK ISO are either shoehorned in at the final design stage or relegated to shuffling symbols around and requiring both Fn+Shift to type a character that used to have its own damn key. I’m not salty.
Ugh. One of the things that I hate about the state of AZ. Seems like the entire state are full of these kinds of assholes that leave carts in the parking lot. Whole fucking herds of carts all over the parking lot with the cart return less than 40 yards away from them.
I just loudly bitch to my wife when I see someone leave a cart in the parking lot now and make sure they can hear how much I think they’re lazy, assholes.
In Spain you have to use a coin to detach a cart from the others.
Well, I have a homemade metal thingy than can release the cart without a coin AND I can pull the thing right back out so I don’t even have to leave it in the coin slot.
When I’m done I still leave the cart in the return area and attach it to the others. I don’t even leave it unattached for the next person, because some pieces of shit already leave carts around the parking lot somehow.
I’m a petty motherfucker and I wish the worst to those assholes.
Doesn’t work in America because the largest coin is a quarter (i.e. 25 cents), likely not enough to deter theft (or even laziness).
So instead, many supermarkets installed a system that locks up the carts’ wheels if they’re taken off the property, which makes them extremely difficult to push. Unfortunately, that also doesn’t help with laziness, so we still need memes like this.
