This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

As a combination cart pusher and cleaner for a supermarket, absolutely fuck anyone that doesn't return their cart or worse, throws it into a gardenbed

I used to see threads like this on reddit where people would defend the act by claiming it keeps people employed. Anyone who has worked in retail knows otherwise, but it doesn't stop these neanderthals from existing and making their bullshit toxic arguments.

I like the idea that there's some shift that's just getting carts all day.

"Sorry, Johnson, people haven't left enough carts out lately. We're letting you go."

As far as I'm aware, that is the case for some of the crews at different stores. Mainly the ones based in larger malls or shopping centres that have their carts spread out over a large area. Those are the ones you would see using the ride-on vehicle with the trolley trailer hitched.

For the most part though, at least here in Aus, the trolley collectors are also responsible for cleaning the stores.

Places I worked when I was younger, it was just one of the jobs of the courtesy clerks, along with bagging and filling some things to the shelf. Even in a really busy store, I think there'd be a ton of wasted time if someone was doing only carts.
