The fuck? How many emergencies do you think people have immediately after exciting a store? The vast majority of people who don't return their carts are just lazy.
Wow, you mean literally every single one of the hundreds of Walmart customers today had a life threatening accident, and had to leave their cart in the middle of the road, or absolutely anywhere other than the corral? Woah, that's my bad for being judgemental!
He doesn't like to return his cart, that's what
He's an idiot, that's the issue.
You both are saying the same thing...
If you have time to pay for your groceries, wheel them out to the car and load them up, but you donβt also have the time to return the cart, itβs not an emergency. Either stop your shopping and hurry wherever you need to go asap or take the time to be a decent person.
It literally accounts for emergencies.
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.
I started returning carts after seeing posts about this on that other site. It wasn't that I didn't care about being a good human in society, I just didn't know it mattered and hadn't thought about it. My mom taught me growing up to ensure that it wouldn't roll away and hit anyone's car and that's as far as that topic ever went.
So I find it hard to blame people for not doing things like this, it takes time for society to grow and change. I think in many ways we are (and this is what has the right wing in a panic).
Now....what about people that back into parking spots when there are no "back in parking only" signs.
And what exactly is your concern about that?
found the asshole
Must be a lot of emergencies at my Costco.
Uh oh, one of our big giant bold huge gigantic large names has deleted an opinion..
You have failed the test.
People really should be taught rhetoric in schools.
You said heads, they said no tails...
It would seem to me they don't realize you are all describing the same coin. Yet they downvote based on their emotional response and demonstrate their lack of reading comprehension.
Sad and hilarious.
