People who do not return the shopping cart

[varmint]

What does it say about me if I try to aim it in from fifty feet away?

[Esel Mann]

I'm a person that returns their cart to the corral but removes one and sends it off on its merry random way. Yep, I live dangerously.

Clearly SuggieTits theory does not account for boundary conditions cases....

I normally see older people returning carts almost never a young punk? Am I bashing our young people again? Now, about putting things back on the shelf. That goes for all ages. 99.99% of the time, I see people just toss it back on the shelf somewhere. Sad.

[VINMAN]

What burns me is when they park two spots away or even right next to the cart corral, and they are too effin lazy to put it back in, and leave it between the spots.

My first job was 50% shagging carts. $4.20 per hour in 1982.

I thought of this also, my first job in 1982 was at Kroger pulling carts in from July's heat, and January's blizzards for little money. There were no cart corrals out in the parking lot then, so people shoved them to the front of their parking space....especially fun on days preceding big holidays when everyone was buying groceries.

Around here, the plastic carry basket, that works great for a few items, has been discontinued at a lot of stores.
People steal them/never return them.

Calling those people animals is an insult to animals!


I just refer to them as sub-human.......

I knew you were SW all along, except when you posted as Bob Kontak about informational things.

I always return my cart - it's the only exercise I get.

I always park as far away as possible - it's why my car is 100% ding free, and it increases my exercise.

When I retire, which is not far away, I'm going to get a job returning carts to the store - I think it will be fun and will increase my exercise. I'm sick of sitting at a desk and making decisions all day.

LOL, I know. Just remind him people exist over 40 or mention a liking of anything older than last week- he spazzes out LOL.

The Safeway on Park avenue and 20th in Denver (more commonly referred to as the UNsafeway) stopped providing carts for a while because too many of them got stolen by the uhhhhh...... 'unhoused.'

You mean the campers were using all of them to go camping?

I'm 76 yeas old and ALWAYS return the cart to either the store or the corral. The lazy *******s that don't do either are just that - lazy *******s.

don't use carts

^^^ Carts are preferred over pockets.

[Scott Douglas]

I usually try to park right next to the corrals as that is where you're least likely to find a kart on the loose.

there's this new high tech thing now; they're called "shopping bags"

if you are bilaterally symmetric you can probably carry 2 of them!

[Bill Douglas]

It's almost the benchmark as to who is a trash person and who is not.

There is a state housing area the next street back from me. the bastards are living on charity from us tax payers yet crime/vechile breakins/tagging and supermarket trolleys radiate out from the complex. They sometimes park trolleys in front to my house then carry their shopping the last 100 meters to their place. I deliver the trolleys/discarded belongings/stolen bicycles things back to their place.

The more I think about it, cart theory seems to be a proxy litmus corollary test for the Marshmallow test
