People who don't return shopping carts (girlfriend)

That's not that bad. Here the new immigrants basically steal the cart and take it home even if it's a mile walk.

Yup, these people don’t give a damn. Instead of viewing the world like ants, where we’re all working together, they view it as “eff off I don’t care.”

So now parking lots are littered with these damn things everywhere. I call it social disobedience.

If you can't be bothered to do these kind of minor, common-courtesy tasks that show consideration for your fellow humans, you are not the kind of person who can be counted on in the moments of major need.

Agree. People seem to be either mercenary or considerate in how they treat others in general. I've noticed that people who lean toward the mercenary also tend to lay blame for inconvenient things on anyone other than themselves pretty quickly. Such as the business or its employees who can't control what customers do once they've left the store.

I won't return shopping carts. Let them pay a kid to do it. Likewise, I won't use the computerized self-checkout. Let them pay a cashier. If I won't take a stand against the collapse of civilization, who will?

This is a pet peeve for me, too.....


I always have and always will return my cart to either the store or the cart corral..... even when my hip was worn out and I had a handicapped parking card...... It takes less than 10 seconds, for pete's sake!!

Nobody asked you to.

But you are not supposed to leave it in the middle of the parking lot, that's why they
have areas to put them in where someone WILL come and return it for you.

Big Difference.

Maybe if surveillance video was made widely available of the people who left carts involved in vehicle damage to make them financially liable would start to change behavior...

Do I work for the store now? That is the store's problem. I don't see why I have to take even one extra step for the store or for some total stranger.

Only a smuck would assist the store in anything. They won't for you - I guarantee it.
