Same. And I’m being serious here while it could sound sarcastic:
I feel good knowing I saved the cart return guy 15 seconds. His day will not be improved because he still needs to move all the carts; and when that task ends there will be another. I understand this, but I still feel like I made the place better than I found it. Where I am, it’s hot-AF outside right now, so I hope that I’m making the next indoor task sooner and my time is appreciated – but my time is literally like <1 minute, so I know it’s not a lot of anti-entropy.
My math is that, with billions of people on the planet, if even part of us tried to save someone 15 seconds every few days, we could build so much faith in humanity.
I live in a world where a small cartel controls every major grocery store in the entire country and is frequently accused or charged with price fixing. They openly lobby my government for obscured pricing and mechanized gouging. They can return their own fucking shopping carts, I’m stealing shit.
All you’re doing is making some underpaid employee’s day harder, and causing problems for the other people who have no choice but to shop at the cartel grocer. Guarantee you the company doesn’t care and is not even slightly inconvenienced by your laziness, no matter how you try to rationalize it.
I want to live in a world where people return the shopping carts, therefore I do it myself. If you don’t, you’re an antisocial prick.
Sometimes I even fix the shit show of random carts in random return lanes so everything fits all neat.

There’s no scripture about shopping carts therfore there’s no eternal damnation looming over you if you don’t put them back. Take that atheists!
Absolutely agree. I return mine every time and silently judge everyone who doesn’t. It’s the simplest thing in the world

They took the cart home. You jumped to conclusion too fast. Their conduct may be immoral to you but for different reasons ;)
You sure showed them! /s
