I just discovered this YouTube channel where a guy goes around calling out people who don’t return their shopping carts. Personally I think it’s pretty funny but some people say he’s monetizing harassment. He never really does anything other than put a magnet on your car though which as far as I know won’t damage it or anything. What do you think?

Nope. I usually just pile as much stuff as I can carry in my arms so I don’t need one.

youre supposed to find the closest parking spot to the cart corral

and drive a lovely car so if a cart hits it you dont have to give a gently caress

That sounds like a bad time, especially if you're dropping everything on the floor at some point to take a giant opiate poo poo in the bathroom to punish the employees of the store for having the audacity to hold retail jobs

He's providing a valuable service and entertainment and anyone who gets upset at him exposes themselves as a lazy poo poo who can't take 10-15 seconds and 20 steps to put their cart in a bin OP.

"The shopping cart is the ultimate litmus test for whether a person is capable of self-governing.

To return the shopping cart is an easy, convenient task and one which we all recognize as the correct, appropriate thing to do. To return the shopping cart is objectively right. There are no situations other than dire emergencies in which a person is not able to return their cart. Simultaneously, it is not illegal to abandon your shopping cart. Therefore the shopping cart presents itself as the apex example of whether a person will do what is right without being forced to do it. No one will punish you for not returning the shopping cart, no one will fine you or kill you for not returning the shopping cart, you gain nothing by returning the shopping cart. You must return the shopping cart out of the goodness of your own heart. You must return the shopping cart because it is the right thing to do. Because it is correct.

A person who is unable to do this is no better than an animal, an absolute savage who can only be made to do what is right by threatening them with a law and the force that stands behind it.

The Shopping Cart is what determines whether a person is a good or bad member of society."

Preamble: I put my cart back, usually actually inside/in front of the store instead of the corral, and grab an extra or two on the way if they're in a spot.

You should put your cart back. I feel like, though, the plentiful social media posting about how you should is astroturfing so that stores don't need to pay people to do it because the customer will for free. One could argue that I'm falling for the broken window fallacy, but I have no faith in these stores putting that money anywhere useful or using it to justify lower prices etc instead of just keeping it.

This is also a solved problem and we don't need a cart narc considering places like Aldis have you put a quarter in to get a cart and automatically get it back on return, and 25¢ is apparently enough incentive for people who ditch carts to not do so?

A shopping cart would be so useful around the house I think. I'm just gonna start taking them and save the workers a lot of trouble

The Aldi system would be better if I ever had a quarter. I guess I should keep one in my car

Gonna leave my cart late at night in a deserted car park and wait for the narc to show up. When he does I'll flip the cart over and onto him, trapping him under the very thing he sought to protect, and watch him wither away

Sharting is not illegal. Society does not require a shart narc. It's completely legal to shart wherever you want, whenever you want.

Yeah, there have been YouTube pranksters who've gotten beat up or arrested for harassing people and generally being public nuisances. One even got shot and it was ruled self defense.

My only issue with it is he doesn't know, and we don't know if he's actually just catching someone on the worst day of their life. Maybe they just got fired. Maybe their mom just died and they couldn't give less of a poo poo about returning the cart in that moment, even if normally they return it. Maybe that's why they blow up.
