This is something I've never shared with anyone, but for my gf at the time. I'm the kind of person to return carts of others and even ones that are left blocks away from the store. Why? I'm not really sure.. After this clip I still didn't know whether to feel pride or gratefulness. So it got me thinking. I've done many subjectively good and bad things. Things that both helped and hurt myself and other people. I don't see myself as a good or bad person. Just as someone who's mostly a product of their dna and their upbringing /surroundings. Existing and trying to manoeuvre through a life where most things if not all, are out of my control. Like anyone else. I could feel pride for doing the right thing, but that doesn't feel right to me. I do it mostly without thinking about it, and it doesn't take me any effort. It's just how I am. I guess I'm just grateful that that part, is a part of how I am. How are you?

I feel pride that I don't feel pride that I am justified by an arbitrary guideline of what a food member of society is. I personally know of people who return thier shopping g cart then jump in tjier car and drive drunk home. One customer does this every week. Another that returns it typically is coming from her lovers house to grab dinner that she failed to make before her husband comes home. One that returned his cart is now in jail for robbing his neighbours houses. In a small town I know everyone's dirt and i know that returning a shopping cart is a simple and ultimately worthless way to judge society as it has zero to do with morals. My kid that grabs carts prefers peoppe leave them all over as he gets more time outside and not standing there making small talk with ladies. Thus theory is so dumb that the only thing it proves is that anything well worded with some 6 or 7 letter words read by a British person is sufficient to fool the average fool into thinking this is decent way to just good vs evil.

My dad happened to be in a public restroom with a powerful and renowned leader and witnessed him cleaning and drying up the counters that had been left a wet soapy mess from previous users. My dad, sharing this story with me and my siblings would point out all the excuses he could have had to not act: 1. It wasn’t my mess 2. I could mess up my suit 3. I have more important things to do 4. There are workers hired to keep the restrooms clean 5. It’s beneath me 6. Concern about what others might think He used this story as an example of what it means to be a good citizen and a good leader, and of how small acts can define us even more than big ones. This happened around 50 years ago, but it shaped my dad’s life, and it has shaped mine, even though I wasn’t there.

@@Valhalla13375 Alas they were not correct, they present it as a binary: either you return it out of the "goodness of your heart," or you do not. (indicating your moral standing and ability to self govern). They state that there is nothing gained or lost from returning it, but there is - by returning it you're conforming to social norms and social pressures. Since everyone knows that returning it is correct, there will be social judgement to be had if someone observes you failing to do so. This itself is a kind of punishment to most people, although not all feel compelled to care. This presents a perfectly valid alternative possibility, in which the person returns the cart to avoid judgement and embarrassment. Since some people are unfazed by social etiquette, they might fail to return it due to a lack of that feeling - instead of some inherent savagery or because they are unable to self-regulate. Since there is no way to disentangle this possible motivation from "just doing the 'right thing,' "the shopping cart is not an adequate test of moral fiber (unsurprisingly).

That's why having car dependent infrastructure sucks because all it takes is a split second poor decision to cause damage. Luckily I have never caused an accident, and I have never done anything too bad, but yeah. The shopping cart thing is more applicable IMO, because it's not stressful or anything. When you are driving sometimes you are making multiple split second decisions and you might for whatever reason mess one up.

When I was a teenager still living at home I used this to teach a little moral lesson to children (and also untrustworthy adults). I would dress up as Death, complete with skeleton gauntlets and one of those hoods with the face veil that makes it look empty. I'd sit slumped over in a chair like a dummy with the bowl of candy on a table beside one of my hands and a "take one, please" sign beside it. If a kid (obviously not the really little ones who didn't know better yet) went in for a handful and their parents didn't say anything I'd trap their hand inside the bowl and shake a finger.

As someone who works retail I can confidently say that our society is doomed.

Half of my work at Costco is fetching carts. There are different levels: --Fully return the cart to the corral or indoors, place them neatly --Throw the cart into the corral or indoors, allowing it to be sloppy and interfere with further cart returns, though still technically returned --return carts NOT to the corral, but to a random parking space that you and a few others have deigned a new cart spot, technically keeping tidy but also interfering with parking and cart collecting. --leave them anywhere. No returns. No consideration --whatever ungodly tier "leave two dirty diapers and half a tilapia in the cart and set it in the middle of the parking lot, under the heat of the summer sun" falls under.

I used to be a condo building maintenance person who was responsible for moving the recycling totes from the underground parking garage to the curbside. The amount of people who would throw their garbage or not broken down boxes into the totes, causing the garbage to be left on the curbside or limiting the full capacity was outstanding. I used to open the bags of garbage to find a bill or address and then go hang it on the persons doorknob, opened up, or I would take the not broken down box and put it in their parking spot. I ended up quitting that job because I started to get really nasty with repeat offenders. It ended with one of them telling me that they pay my paycheck and me saying I can quit this job and I will still know where you live. The thing is, I could do something for those people to help them out and did so quite often. This is what created the core of my misanthropy and what started the death of the altruistic part of my personality. Now I live in my wife's basement.

I worked retail during covid times, a couple months or so we had to clean the handles etc of the shopping carts afters they had been used. The idea was: you grab a shopping cart from inside the store and return it either to a stand outside, or to the worker assigned to clean it (literally next to where you grabbed it, at the entrance, you couldnt miss it). Now the amount of people who just left their cart in the hallway without walking the 3 steps to deliver it to the worker was so large, it was the most frustrating task I had to do in the 2-3 years I worked in retail

For extra credit you can offer to return someone else's cart when you are entering the shop and you see them finish unpacking their cart by their car. The holy grail of moments for me however, is trying to park in a spot that someone has just left a trolley in while they are still in their car trying to leave. I recommend a combination of parking your car behind them while you move the trolley and/or stopping half way into the park to not block traffic and making continuous eye contact with them while you move the cart, park and then take the cart back yourself.

I always use campground rules: leave it in a better position than you found it. So i will usually take the most inconveniently placed cart from the parking lot, use it to shop, and i will either return it to the corral inside if i am able to carry my things to my car by hand or i will return to the outside corral.

Lastly, I find carts being left in ditch/grass safer as the cart is less likely to roll into a car, or the middle of the road.

A homeless man lived near our kohls and would sit watching people from the treeline. I can't help but speculate that the madness of watching people fail to put the cart back finally got to him. He began actively approaching people and yelling at them incoherently, which scared people. Slowly, the carts began to find their way back. It took months for the cops to do something, but by that time it had spread to the lowe's and dollar store. I miss you charlie. When you left the ungovernable idiots inevitably returned...

This is only a joke until you've seen some of the worst examples of it. There's absolutely no reason anyone should have to pull in to a parking lot only to find two shpping carts taking up the full space of what seemed to be an open spot, forcing me to get out and move them. Sometimes they'll just be strewn about everywhere: in between cars, on the grass, some will be knocked over and have parts missing, most will have a bad wheel. The world would truly be better off without people that cause this.

Or, better yet, without cultures and ideologies that produce people that cause this. There are so many things that people just *do* without even acknowledging it, simply because it's taken for granted as "normal". Their decision to do it isn't guided by some moral calculus, or some measured analysis of pros and cons - rather, such considerations don't even occur to them because it's just... "what you do." Like virtually all behaviors, even these "taken as normal" behaviors are *learned*. They are taught, and passed down through culture. Now imagine if we lived in a society in which people -- being smart enough to understand that they do, in fact, live *in a society*, decided to instill values of "have even a modicum of consideration for someone that isn't yourself", instead of the rampant fetishization of the individual that leads people to act so frequently in ways that exploit and/or bring harm to others solely for their own benefit. Tldr; if we stop feeding kids hyper-individualist propaganda and instead teach them "hey mate, like it or not, you have neighbors, and literally all of your lives will be strictly better if you were chill with each other" then we wouldn't have to worry about such savages as the dregs who don't return shopping carts.

I still got an A, so... Edit: Uuuuuh since so many people are curious about the essay and the assignment topic. It was a "This I Believe" essay which is basically what it sounds like. It could be any topic you want but had too write it under 500 words (which is difficult for kids who like English and are passionate for what their writing about lol).

I was shopping for holiday supplies with my good friend and his fiance years ago, we loaded the car up with both carts, me and my friend both started to return our carts and his fiance laughed at us, remarking how goody two shoes we both were returning the carts, I thought to myself at that moment maybe he should not marry her.

I don't just return my shopping cart, I take it back to the store entrance instead of leaving it in the cart return in the parking lot. It means some minimum wage worker doesn't have to go retrieve it. Sometimes, I will grab a second cart on the way back to the entrance if it's left on my path.

There’s “not returning the shopping cart” and then there’s “leaving the shopping cart behind someone’s car”. But then there is “leaving the shopping cart in the parking spot between two vehicles”. For the people that commits the latter, I believe their soul should be voided immediately on the spot, like as if nature is trying to undo the chaos that have been unleashed.

People who take the carts

It's like cleaning after yourself in a fast food restaurant

While my parents were shopping my older brother would push me around the parking lot sitting in the basket of a shopping cart. I think I was about 5 years old. One time he let go of the cart as it was rolling down a sloping drive behind the store. I will never forget riding the cart as it crossed 3 busy lanes of traffic. I am almost 80 now.

This is also frequently explained as "Judge a person by how they treat someone who can do nothing for them." How people discuss how someone may treat waitstaff. A servant or waiter (largely) can't retaliate, and this has conditioned assholes to treat them with impunity.

In the UK, alot of shopping carts/trollies require a £1 coin, or similar, to be used, they still get dumped everywhere.

This theory can be supplemented by the Ikea Cart Return Theory: Ikea has two kinds of carts, a standard cage-constructed cart and a long cart for holding larger objects. The cart return is split into two to hold each, but only a basic visual sign above them determines where they fit inside the corral. Looking at the results usually indicates that many customers of stores with this setup are unable to discern basic shapes and often puts their carts in the wrong side despite a guide that children can interpret and accurately act on. This particular theory asks the question "yes, these members are functional members of society, but are they *stupid?*"
