This comment squarely hits at the heart of cartnarc
Yes, the cart person is going to get the cart either way. You could choose to make their lives a little bit easier by putting in 10 seconds of effort, or you could belittle them, their effort and their pay.
As the saying goes, the true test of someone’s character is how they treat their inferiors.
You failed the test
- BetaDeltaAlpha 3y agoWho's more inferior: The teenager grocery store employee or the daughter in the hot car?
- mingus88 3y agoRad dads let their kids ride the cart back to the corral Bad dads use their kids as props to excuse their bad behavior
- brvsft 3y agoThe cart nonsense isn't the only measure of "bad"/good in society. Time to grow up now, but I hope you feel the endorphins from your righteous behavior toward a stranger on the internet. Bet you taught em a lesson.
- c22 3y agoWhen my kids were little I just made a point of parking next to a cart corral.
- elephanlemon 3y agoI recall reading a comment by an ex cart person where they described how the best part of their day was fetching the carts from all over the lot because they got to be outside. So for some, they’d prefer you didn’t put your cart back.
- lobsterthief 3y agoYep, I bagged groceries at Albertsons in high school. Gathering carts was absolutely my favorite part of the job. Got to be outside, largely by yourself, getting exercise, and greeting random people. There was also a strong sense of satisfaction when you cleared the entire lot. It was awesome. Literally every single other bagger there felt the same way. To this day, for this reason, I have no problem leaving my cart in the lot. You know what sucked though? Bagging groceries. Endlessly. Or putting back things people abandon/don’t buy. If you really want to do someone at the grocery store a favor, bag your own groceries and put things back that you don’t want to buy. But don’t take away my carts.
- owlninja 3y agoWhen I worked grocery/retail, getting the carts was my favorite way to get away...
- zzzeek 3y agoThey're paid to go throughout the parking lot and round up carts, so that the customers don't have to. What's wrong with that ?
- kingTug 3y agoThey're paid insultingly low wages. Not using them as a servant is the nice thing to do.
- spookthesunset 3y agoHow do you know they don’t like it? Could be the favorite thing of somebodies day!
- lobsterthief 3y agoWhen I worked as a bagger it was the best part of my job.
- beej71 3y agoWhy do we have cart return areas at all?
- zzzeek 3y agobecause...that's where the people who are paid to round up the carts put them? I'm not saying people shouldn't put their carts back but if we are really looking for "vigilantes" looking to round up evil, please have them go to gun shops and prevent people from buying guns. That would help a lot more.
- SkyPuncher 3y agoMaybe I'm coming off as belittling the cart person, but that's not my intent nor my feeling. I've been a burger flipper. It was a fine job for that time in my life, but my attitude towards that job is wildly different than my professional job. At the end of the day, the minimum wage job was a shift. I was paid to show up and put the effort into my shift. I largely didn't care if that was working the line, cleaning, moving stock, or yanking trash. Further, other comments reflect my understanding of most people grabbing carts. It's something they tend to enjoy doing.
