pretend I was talking about some other kind of signal to let another driver actually know your intentions before just barrelling onto the road into a possibly dangerous situation without a care in the world. if the latter is the rule of the road where you are, pretend you're somewhere that's somewhat less filled with anarchy

I often offer to take an empty cart from someone if I'm heading into the same store or toward a cart corral, especially if they have that panicked look when they are thinking about ditching it

But I have also been much less polite than the cart narc guy to egregious offenders

I used to work as a bagger at a grocery store as my first job out of high school and I have to say that folks who aren't returning their carts to the cart corrals are gigantic pieces of poo poo. Nice honeypot OP!

I always return my cart and give a small frown when there's loose carts around. That said, that cart narc guy is doing some real dweeb bullshit and it'd be no surprise if he got himself assaulted.

As a retail worker, I'll say that it's cool if you do return your cart, but if someone actually yells at you about it then they're the rear end in a top hat. If you at least leave it in the parking lot for the same store than you're doing fine.

also as a retail worker who at one point was those cart pushers, put the carts in the corrals you rear end holes. theres like 20 of them and they're like 5 parking spaces away from you at most. make some schlub 16-22 year olds life easier

In europe you need to pay a deposit (2 silver crowns) and don't get it back unless you return the cart (aka handtrolley) to the rack (aka trolleystation).

I always put my cart back at meijer but I hate people who drive diagonally through the parking lot at high speeds and am considering stopping putting my cart back to disincentivize this behavior.

we have Aldi in the states and they do have the cart-coin system. There are also way less workers at Aldi compared to a US supermarket. Coincidence?

Put your coins in the cart at the front of the cart train, then take them all and run them right out of the parking lot :killdozer:

hey mr. job creator, what if instead of having to spend their days outside running down carts because of entitled idiots they could help with stuff inside the store?

better yet what if we changed the system so people did not need to have poo poo jobs like this to have a half-decent life?

That’s fine if you hate the person who just lost a job to make room for the cart attendant

i don't put my cart back because wrangling carts in the parking lot is the best part of working at a grocery store. no customers bother the cart wrangler and you can gently caress around wasting all sorts of time doing it. i will not deprive someone of that

I loved gathering the carts. It was basically another hour break for me. It was basically the only time anyone would say "thank you" to me at that job too. Walk them out to their car and load up their groceries, half rear end "thankyou" mumbled your way as they close the trunk. Walk by and grab their cart when they're done, "oh my god! Thank you so much! You're all so great at this store!"

There's people who don't put carts back, and there's people who care about their vehicle, not much overlap.
