I used to return my cart to the corral, but now I walk it over to the "reserved for law enforcement" spot and leave it there.

All Carts Are Bastards

Well done for not being a blight on society.

You should always leave a cart or two in the handicapped section. Walking from the car to the store is a big fear for old people, and being able to grab a cart right by their parking space to help them get across the lot and through traffic is really helpful.

Not on the parking spot. Sheesh.

The store I frequent has the handicapped spots right next to the carts right next to the entry. I've never paid close attention to it, but I thought them being the most convenient spots was the norm.

Relatedly, as an admin of c/books, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention a book here.

If you enjoyed the TV show The Good Place, and humorous books about moral philosophy, Mike Schur (the showrunner) covers this in How to be Perfect.

Only when shopping online though.

Thank you for your service.

It genuinely does. Almost all of us are downright mediocre but all we need to be is a decent person and that's good enough.

Returning the cart and not littering are the two big indicators of not being a shit person.

[-] JennaR8r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

I do those things & also clean public restrooms because they're usually a mess when I go in there, so make it mess-free for the next person who goes in after me. And a certain beach I frequent is notorious for trash so before I can enjoy the beach, I spend about an hour with latex gloves & a trash bag & restore the beach to its undefiled state. No one knows I do these things, no one cares, and nobody pays me for being a secret janitor.

@ivanafterall
The shopping cart theory

[-] egerlach@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

At my local CostCo, there is a pathway that cuts across each row of parking spots. At various points along this path are the cart returns. The path is constantly full of carts, meaning that you can't get to the cart returns. I get way too bent out shape about his every time I go.

[-] JennaR8r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

Whenever I go to Costco when I'm done shopping I sometimes spend up to a half hour putting carts away, the ones that are most obnoxiously blocking parking spots & pedestrians.

[-] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 months ago

I hate this argument. If i park by a cart at the back of the parking lot I'm going to do exactly what my mother raised me to do and put it back where i found it.
