Yup, insulting is the way to prove your point. Bravo.

They even hurt the public in that sense by causing the reduction in the work force. No, that's not true. The staff they have has to take care of it. They don't hire someone to do that alone. Something you could easily do that doesn't take more than a minute, and they have to go out and do all that work, at their low pay, because you're acting self-righteous while being lazy and selfish. Shaking your fist at the owners while the low-paid staff has to deal with it.

No, it's your logic that is problematic. You assume the stores will hire someone to be there all day just to handle baskets. The truth is, a lot of people put their baskets back. That person would be sitting there much of the day. You think the owners are going to hire someone just for that? They ask the stockers and low-paid workers to check outside now and then, but to do their other work indoors. It doesn't kill you to take it back. But it makes a lot of work for the low-paid ones just because you don't feel like it. And you're trying to claim that's the right thing to do? As though it hurts the owners and not the low-paid workers you're making leave their stocking jobs? Sixty seconds or less and you're done. What's the big deal for you?

I never said it is a big deal. If store doesn't hire someone to do the job of the store, how come it becomes my responsibility? If we follow your logic, we have go out of our way to help other minimum wage workers if their boss doesn't hire sufficient number of workers. Hypothetical example: It will take only a minute to wash your dishes in a restaurant, should you do it to help workers and convenience of other customers who will use your dishes later?

The practicality of my example is not a problem. The principle behind it is. If for example some restaurants provide dish washing stations and aprons, should the customers do it to help other workers? You see, the principle behind it like "I'm helping workers/other customers" has no merit. It's meaningless and we're helping the business itself. It's being standard and widely accepted practice is exactly the reason why my opinion is unpopular.

Helping other people has no merit. I see. Fascinating opinion that helps explain why things are getting worse all the time. The baskets left out are dangerous for other cars, and you are trying to pretend like it's a righteous thing to do to be too lazy to take your own back; it's as simple as that. There's a difference between an unpopular opinion and a self-righteous lazy one that hurts others.

I see, when there is no argument, you just start insulting. Here I am answering to you thinking you could be civil.

by Anonymous 1 day ago

If I was insulting, I apologize. But do you not agree that leaving shopping baskets out is dangerous for others driving in the parking lot? And why do you feel that refusing to return it is somehow a thing of merit, when all you're doing is making a low-paid worker, work harder?

OP decided that he would not give workers any sympathy just because they're paid. next time i hope his car is scratched by a wild cart, heavily.

by Consistent_Cry_7267 1 day ago

Nope. You misunderstood completely. You are not helping poor workers, you're helping the store employ fewer people. How could it be more clear?

people understood perfectly.

"What would that person do when there's no carts to put in place? Sit down…" Yes, exactly. They will sit down. What are the cashiers doing when there's no one at the store? What kind of argument is this?

by Anonymous 1 day ago

That already happens. Have you worked in retail?

by Busy_Raspberry6382 1 day ago

"There are people for that" is an insufferable position, imho.

by Andrew75 1 day ago

Nope, position is there should be people for that. Paid people. Read again if you don't understand.

Returning your shopping cart is just an asshole test and I have a feeling that you fail that test every time

by Anonymous 1 day ago

Found whose leaving their carts in parking spots, making it harder for other customers to get what they need. The workers cant see through cars leaving it in a spot or halfway onto some grass makes it harder to find to return in the first place. Unlike when in a giant metal cage-like structure meant for them so its easy find and return.

Sure,maybe throw our trash around too, drop clothes on store floors, and 'Cause clearly, the world is our personal dump, right and who cares about being responsible human being.'

by Economy_Plum 1 day ago

I agree, thats why I never clean up after myself after a movie, eat at a fast food place and leave my trash on the table, never put stuff back were i got it in a store, I just drop my trash on the ground wherever ever I go and piss all over the bathroom. I love being an inconsiderate asshole to minimum wage workers.

So what are you supposed to do with your cart?

by Anonymous 1 day ago

yikes, you are just entitled

by Business-Celery 1 day ago

This is the first logical counter argument. Thank you for that and I will reconsider my position because of this. Except the last paragraph. Company not caring is not a valid argument.

by Anonymous 1 day ago

The company wouldn't care about <$11 per hour. You only think they do because they cut costs so often. Regardless, the other points still stand so i'll rest my case here.

It's not about the store, it's about you being a pain in the ass for everyone else

Imagine trying to dodge shopping carts as you pull out of your parking space toward the exit. That's how other people suffer lol. Now let's imagine some storm like the current one in the UK blowing shopping carts into your car 🙃

It's also other customer's problem when

there aren't any carts available, or (b) a cart bumps into their car and dents it.

by Cletus50 1 day ago

The company is going to pay the members of staff to collect the trollies whether they are all in one place or scattered all around the parking lot. You're not making any difference to the company either way. But you can make it better for that person then that's cool!

by tgoldner 1 day ago

It's their decision to provide the shopping carts to the customers. So everyone has to hold their groceries in their hands or what? Shopping carts are free to use, it's only common decency to return them for the next person to use.

by Unlikely-Concept9964 1 day ago

Why are so many people just being so lazy as to not spend the few moments it takes to put the cart back? Where I live you have to put in a coin or a coin sized thing into a slot, and to get it back you need to put your cart back, but the funny thing is, even at places where they don't use that, people still put them back, because why not? It takes no time really, and makes it easier for others to get one, plus if you just leave it here or there, it can case damage. So ffs just put it back.
