I once watched a lady abandon her cart in the empty parking spot beside her. Then she got into her car and the cart rolled behind her car. She didn't notice and backed right into it.

Instant karma. Love it.

[-] TheCelticPirate@lemmy.world 55 points 5 days ago

It really is a good test of a decent human being.

I have to, to get my keys back. Because I have a loonie sized coin attached to my keys. And the carts require a loonie.

The real trolley problem

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 35 points 5 days ago

I normally return them all the way back into the store. Maybe I will be allowed into the upgraded "good place" without all of the forking censorship.

[-] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 22 points 5 days ago

Lol, that kind of moralizing is the exact thing that will get you into the censored good place.

[-] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 16 points 5 days ago

No you get the forking censorship. Its bullshirt but you get used to it.

[-] tourist@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

Homie your pizza gonna defrost

Take it to the designated trolley zone if it's closer

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

I don't feel like I live in an area with particularly great people but it's pretty rare not to see someone return the cart either inside or to the corral. Regional cultures, I guess.

[-] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 1 points 5 days ago

An uncensored Good Place?! Holy forking shirt balls!

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 23 points 5 days ago

Where I live, you have to put a coin into the shopping carts and you only get it back when you return it. Is this not a thing in, uh, Portugal? Brazil? Wherever the comic author lives...?

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 40 points 5 days ago

In most places in the US it's totally not a thing, except at Aldi's.

[-] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 24 points 5 days ago

And even then, some don't care about the quarter.

[-] Saleh@feddit.org 1 points 4 days ago

I heard from a guy living near DC, that a normal (i guess one pound?) bag of low quality ground coffee costs 20$. At this rate you have to have the cards take Benjamins to force people to return them.

[-] NormalPerson@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Blessings upon the tweaker at our Aldi

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 0 points 5 days ago

I don't care about the quarter, but in a different way. If I see someone getting out of their car, I say "You need a cart?"

Shit, I'd rather give it to them, than walk across the parking lot. Now if I don't see anyone, THEN I'll take it back. But I'd rather just give the cart to someone who needs it anyways. Screw the quarter! Oh no! I'm missing out on......30 seconds of earned income!!!

Cart Narcs approved comic.

"wee woo wee woo oh shit he's got a gun!" 🤣

[-] whostosay@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Man fuck this guy. He didn't even call himself "Portugeese"

I worked in a grocery store when I was a teenager. I didn't give a shit about people not returning their carts. It's my job, it's not like I'd rather face shelves than walk over to get a cart. Plus they'd usually send us out in pairs so we'd take advantage and shoot the shit while doing it, was a nice break.

Edit: I will downvote you because your personal experience and opinion go against my feelgood circle jerk.

[-] snail_hunter@programming.dev 7 points 5 days ago

Abandoned carts occupy parking spots and can ram into cars and people. The issue isn't that it creates more work for employees

[-] monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

If the carts are taking up space, the store needs to hire more people to go get carts. I loved my cart fetching time when I worked at a grocery store.

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

But they said "circle jerk", which automatically makes everyone else wrong. I'm sorry.

[-] monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

I’m with you dude. Only people who care about carts are self important people. I used to love walk the parking lot for 15-30 mins hunting carts. Best part of the job tbh.

[-] UrPartnerInCrime@sh.itjust.works -2 points 5 days ago

I used to work as a life guard when I was younger. I didn't give a shit about kids running around the pool. It's my job to give them bandages when they scrape their knee. It's not like I'd rather be looking at the pool. Plus there would usually be a hot sibling or mother so I'd take advantage and shoot my shot while doing it, it was a nice break.
