re: Thought on what a shopping cart says about your personality

I've noticed most of the same people who won't return their shopping carts (even a few feet away, lol) also are the ones not wearing masks.

I wear a mask.

I will always attempt to grab a shopping cart outside and push it into the store for my use (which now pisses some employees off because of their new Covid cart policies).

I rarely return my used cart to the corral unless it's right there.

I grew up in an area where no one put up there shopping cart. Ever. Always looked like a complete shite show in the parking lot.

I now live in an area where everyone puts their shopping carts in the return area before they leave the grocery.

Family came for a visit and were amazed that people in my area willing put them away, and cared about what the public space looked like. Then the family left the cart in between the cars.

Car didn’t move until they put it back like civilized people. Some people are slow learners.

I don't wear masks but I'll walk 50 yards to put the cart back and I'll stay 6 ft away from you and respect your personal space.

We are the same person.

I agree with Mr. Danzig

All of my shoppers are instructed to return the carts to the appropriate place. I strongly believe i, too, would return the cart if I ever had to actually perform the task of pushing one of those unruly germ magnets through a tawdry public establishment.

Funny how the people who clog up the parking lot waiting for another person to unload their groceries and leave (because they are too lazy to walk) are the same people who won’t return their shopping cart.

There have been studies on this and the results were that all ethnicities and both genders are guilty of doing this and 93.7% of them vote Democrat.

When I was a kid, there was no expectation that carts would be returned. In fact, there was no where to return them to other than the front of the store. The stockers would go out and round them up. That was part of their job. In high school, I had that job, and we would go out every few hours and round them up. We liked doing it because it got us out of the store, you could have a smoke, a coke and pick up the carts.

At some point in the mid-late 90's, these stupid cart returns started to appear. I feel bad for the guys that no longer get to roam the lot, taking their time and rounding up carts.

I worked at Winn Dixie in 1993-1994. We definitely went out and smoked a lung dart while getting carts. We didn't have the motorized cart caddies either. It sucked when it was 95 degrees though.

yeah, we pushed that shite the old/only way. I don't recall being as bothered by the heat back then. I worked at a little store in nola 92-94. We'd also smoke while burning boxes in the incinerator. You could actually still smoke in the grocery store back then, there'd be butts swept off the floors every evening.

Yep. We'd drink beer while stocking the shelves some nights after the doors closed too
