I want others to return their carts so I expect the same from myself. Unironically, we live in a society, so that means cooperation for things to run smoothly

You gain nothing, but you retain self-respect.

You gain the knowledge that you didn’t make a retail worker’s day even shittier.

Return the cart and make sure they're all nested with each other so the cart guy has an easier job

People complain about capitalism but there is never a loose cart in the aldi parking lot.

Wasn’t this a 4chan post about the cart being the ultimate litmus test for people in society?

Justify not putting the cart back without the root reason being that you're selfish (too lazy, in a hurry, not my job, cart return is too far away, etc). Go ahead, I'll wait.

You do gain something though. By not contributing to the problem the overall likelihood that other people also don't contribute increases because they see a cart put away instead of a herd of them roaming the parking lot. Same as being polite when you aren't required to be.

Society exists because most people choose not to be assholes.

I don't "gain nothing" from returning the cart! It feels good to do the right thing!

Always. While everyone tries to park close to the entrance, I park close to the stall. I park in the same spot at my grocery store 90% of the time.

I put the cart in the back of a random truck.

I get my 50 euro cents back

This, but for people who block traffic stopping on the curb instead of pulling into a parking space so they won't have to walk a whole extra 50 steps.

The shopping cart thing is no longer a good test of character. The whole idea is there's no reward for doing it and no punishment for not doing it. Now that everyone knows that there's a large contingent of the population who could be judging them for their actions, it's not the same thing anymore. It's more like a test of how a panopticon situation effects people.

I do it every time because I'm not one of those bad words you can say on other websites.

Here in finland you have to insert a coin in there. It gets released when you chain the shopping cart back to another shopping cart or the roof thingy where they go. Works like a charm. Very few loose carts

I return it, and also try to make sure there's space, by nesting it, and the few in front of it.

Do you move out of the dual-purpose right-hand turning lane when you know you're going straight before a red light?

Always.

This is really all I would need to know about a potential date.

i gain getting to go fast on the cart for a few seconds and hopping up on it so jokes on you
