I'm also the weirdo who puts other peoples' carts away.

I see you, sister.

And we know you’ll put them away so that’s why we leave them for you to do it!

OMG I bet all those who don’t put their carts away also work out at the gym not realizing that extra steps count too
Also extra @&&hole points to those who leave the cart in the handicapped parking. You are the worst!

Yeah but they are supposed to collect them from either the corrals or directly from people. Not stray carts from parking spaces. That's just crappy.

You see crappy. I see extra hours of an hourly job.

Clearly someone who never worked an hourly. This is more work during the hourly shift, and I refuse to be the asshole who thinks the cart collector should be working his ass off for $10/hour. The employee taking carts from corral to store is sufficient, don’t you think? Instead of having to go out of their way to collect every entitled asshole’s cart from wherever they abandoned it?

You are severely mistaken about my work history. Different strokes for different folks, I suppose.

Can people please stop saying that it's someone's job to collect the carts? This is not true. It's part of the employee responsibilities, but no one is going to be out of a job if you don't leave carts all over the parking lot for them to chase. Idiots.

Does he litter? Is he rude to wait staff?
This is really important information that you need to know before you marry someone!

There was a guy whose ONLY JOB at the supermarket was to walk around the parking lot collecting shopping carts and lining them up near the front door. If everyone put their carts back at the front, he'd be out of a job. There was another guy whose ONLY TWO JOBS were to put away "throwbacks" (when people are checking out and decide they don't want that box of tampons or crackers or that yogurt after all) and to "level" shelves which means to go left to right, top to bottom, making all the items on the shelves look neat and orderly. If everyone put back food from Aisle 2 that they decided in Aisle 9 that they suddenly decided they didn't want and then put it back very neatly that guy would be out of a job.

So I think as long as you don't put your shopping cart in a handicapped parking spot, it's totally fine to leave it in the parking lot.

Use your imagination -- obviously that cart is gonna roll into another car long before the lazy-ass whose job it is to collect carts actually collects the carts.

It has literally never dawned on me to NOT put my cart back. Absolutely triflin'.

I agree that not putting your cart back is a sign of poor character or a lack of home training, but so is denigrating people doing honest work.

If they actually did the honest work, there'd be no problem, but at my grocery store anyway, they're always off kicking rocks on the other side of the parking lot.

Here's the elitism underlying the pretentious defense of "civil" behavior.

Ouch. That is jerk behavior.
