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.

The real trolley problem

[–] [email protected] 37 points 5 days ago (5 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 5 days ago

Lol, that kind of moralizing is the exact thing that will get you into the censored good place.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 days ago

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

An uncensored Good Place?! Holy forking shirt balls!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 5 days ago (3 children)

And even then, some don't care about the quarter.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

I heard from a guy living near DC, that a normal (i guess one pound?) bag of low quality ground coffee costs 20$. At this rate you have to have the cards take Benjamins to force people to return them.

Blessings upon the tweaker at our Aldi

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

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)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I swear this is a regional thing. Where I live now, it is extremely rare to see a cart outside the return. But I've lived in other places where it seemed like no one returned their cart, ever.

I think it's a peer pressure thing - once it's the norm, everyone just does it. But if people started breaking that, I'd suddenly start seeing carts all over the lot.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

Yup. Where I live now is a place nobody does it. They also see no problem with just stopping in a parking lot with a line of cars behind them. It's absolutely infuriating.

Could also depend if it's an Aldi's or not, their system is awesome.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Nah I've only been to Aldi's about 3 times in my life (nothing against it, they just don't have many locations near me). These are several different chains of stores in different parts of the US.

“wee woo wee woo oh shit he’s got a gun!”

I got the reference...Texas Fella pulls a gun on Cart Narcs

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

Cart Narcs approved comic.
