For me it is about incentives. I have no reason to provide free labor to a business because I have no reason to believe they’ll pass on the labor savings. I’m also well aware that businesses will save money if they can. If people are all good little cart returners what is to stop the stores from cheaping out on corrals and making them walk further, trading customer labor to line their own pockets? Especially when random strangers will shame them for it? The line between what services should be included (e.g., checkout) and which shouldn’t (cart return) seems at times arbitrary and at times that it only benefits the business. The moralizing around it is frankly a bit nuts. Is it immoral to place your order with a human if the fast food place has a kiosk? Is having a checker ring you up somehow a moral flaw?
