Look man, you can occasionally be selfish or lazy without immediately being an absolute drain on society. Is not putting the cart back ultimately a dick move? Yeah, but its also an incredibly minor dick move, and maybe I’ve already used up all of my fucks for the day.
Edit: Ok, yall have convinced me. I’m going to start wheeling shopping carts into the most inconvenient places in the parking lot on purpose now. It’s really funny how much it ruins all of your days, thank you for giving me a mew source of joy. I wouldnt be surprised if I tipped and treated service staff a hell of a lot better than most of you considering how much you’re all itching to feel superior to others over extremely minor things
If you want an actual good reason? Car damage. I have seen them roll away into someone else’s car, and even a person. They can also block parking spots and it really sucks when people in the handicap section do it as those then roll in to other spots needed for accessibility. Thankfully my store has tons of cart returns so it isn’t even remotely inconvenient. The employees stay on top of the rest, especially if the handicap section right by the doors gets gnarly. The only time I see some true cart carnage is at Walmart. Those parking lots are terrible.
I can’t make decisions for you, but I will politely ask you to put the cart away the next time you are at the store. Please and thank you.
Thank you for being polite about it. For the most part I do actually put carts away. I was mostly just commenting to say its incredibly ridiculous to get from “Person does a pretty minor in the long run but selfish thing” to “This person relies on society having rules in order to be able control themselves or be considerate to others”.
