You’ll never convince me that people who can’t be bothered to return the trolley wash their hands after peeing.

It depends on how close the shopping cart return spot is. I'm not walking halfway across the parking lot!

Re: Pedantic Struggles: The All Encompassing Philosophy Thre
Oh please. This is how things have always been done! It's tradition! It's perfectly acceptable to leave the cart between spaces. It's not like I leave them in a way that people are unable to park. I'm not a monster.
They already rip us off on the prices. Now you want to do free labor for them?!

Frankly, it's unethical to return the carts at all.

It was actually saying there is no "designated cart returner," so you're not creating jobs by doing this.

Do you guys have the trolleys where you have to put a dollar in a little lock to release it, which then gets returned when you bring it back and relock it?
