Sgt_choke_n_strokeThe shopping cart is the ultimate test of a good person
My first job at 15.5yo was the grocery store. I bagged and got carts for work when bagging could be plastic (newer), paper (common), or a combo of both (old people, usually). If you don’t return your cart, fuck you! Now I live a few blocks from the same grocery store and return that shit to the inside of the store, grabbing spares sometimes if they’re just sitting around in the way. It used to surprise me when someone didn’t return it, the the last couple decades happened and it makes more sense. There are just some people who want to be a part of society and others who want to benefit from it while not contributing to it.
Dozzi92Yeah, when I walk into the store, I grab them from the handicap spots. It’s the only place where I say “Okay, you get a pass,” when I see carts left, and so I bring em back to the store.
You give people a pass for ditching carts in the handicapped spaces?
Ha, definitely unclear. The presumption is it’s a person with a handicap who left it there. I know I’ve seen some older folks leave them at the end of the spaces and so I guess I’m more inclined to let slide someone who perhaps has some infirmity that makes walking difficult.
Interestingly I’ve read handicapped individuals prefer there to be a cart next to the handicap parking space. Save having to walk inside before getting a shopping cart that doubles as a walker.
Makes sense in my mind, could be bs though. I certainly haven’t done a study.
You just can’t win in this thread, can you?
As long as you don’t dismember them
RebekahWSDYeah, my husband had cerebral palsy and loved when people left carts in the handicap areas. He’d grab that and use that to walk around the store instead of a cane.
