I once watched a lady abandon her cart in the empty parking spot beside her. Then she got into her car and the cart rolled behind her car. She didn’t notice and backed right into it.
Instant karma. Love it.
It really is a good test of a decent human being.
I have to, to get my keys back. Because I have a loonie sized coin attached to my keys. And the carts require a loonie.
I normally return them all the way back into the store. Maybe I will be allowed into the upgraded “good place” without all of the forking censorship.
Lol, that kind of moralizing is the exact thing that will get you into the censored good place.
No you get the forking censorship. Its bullshirt but you get used to it.
Homie your pizza gonna defrost
Take it to the designated trolley zone if it’s closer
I don’t feel like I live in an area with particularly great people but it’s pretty rare not to see someone return the cart either inside or to the corral. Regional cultures, I guess.
Where I live, you have to put a coin into the shopping carts and you only get it back when you return it. Is this not a thing in, uh, Portugal? Brazil? Wherever the comic author lives…?
In most places in the US it’s totally not a thing, except at Aldi’s.
And even then, some don’t care about the quarter.
Blessings upon the tweaker at our Aldi
I don’t care about the quarter, but in a different way. If I see someone getting out of their car, I say “You need a cart?”
Shit, I’d rather give it to them, than walk across the parking lot. Now if I don’t see anyone, THEN I’ll take it back. But I’d rather just give the cart to someone who needs it anyways. Screw the quarter! Oh no! I’m missing out on…30 seconds of earned income!!!
Whenever I return to my car without a cart (vast majority of the time) I will find a random cart not returned and return it. Cause fuck you, that shit’s going back despite your best efforts (or lack of any)
Cart Narcs approved comic.
Man fuck this guy. He didn’t even call himself “Portugeese”
I worked in a grocery store when I was a teenager. I didn’t give a shit about people not returning their carts. It’s my job, it’s not like I’d rather face shelves than walk over to get a cart. Plus they’d usually send us out in pairs so we’d take advantage and shoot the shit while doing it, was a nice break.
Edit: I will downvote you because your personal experience and opinion go against my feelgood circle jerk.
I’m with you dude. Only people who care about carts are self important people. I used to love walk the parking lot for 15-30 mins hunting carts. Best part of the job tbh.
I used to work as a life guard when I was younger. I didn’t give a shit about kids running around the pool. It’s my job to give them bandages when they scrape their knee. It’s not like I’d rather be looking at the pool. Plus there would usually be a hot sibling or mother so I’d take advantage and shoot my shot while doing it, it was a nice break.
Comparing a lifeguard to stocking shelves at a grocery store, that’s a fucking reach lmao.
Hey I did my job with great praise
I’m just saying it’s the same premise. Yeah mine is more extreme, but that was the point. I could have picked a more fun and less serious job I’ve had, but I picked that one to show how dramatic it can be.
