Exactly why I never shop at Aldi’s.
Excellent.
My cat runs away from it. I tried to get her to ride on it once, but she wasn’t having it.
1. I blame the store. If there is a cart corral nearby I use it. If not, THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN. I always try to park next to one.
2. They hire low IQ people to gather the carts. They need jobs too.
3. I’m not their employee. Not only do they not pay me to wrangle carts, they try to CHARGE ME 5 cents for a worthless paper bag that rips.
Cats...
You Can’t figure them out.
I have a Motel 6 between my place of work and a large grocery store.
The Motel 6 was converted to shelter for illegals and folks on welfare
Every morning, several shopping carts on the grass in front of the Motel 6
Looked like a small tornado picked up and scattered shopping carts at the Motel 6 each day
I like the idea of giving the Working Class exercise, and jobs.
“This isn’t so bad, huh? Making bucks, getting exercise, working outside.”
“____in’ A!”
Does anyone have experience for one of those robot things that actually cleans the floor? I’ve been thinking of buying one for my kitchen floor...
Integrity is doing the right thing when no one looking.
OK first if you are standing around like a high school hall monitor asking people to return their carts you have waaay too much time on your hands. Get a job or a hobby.
Second its not a crime to fail to put the cart back. Its the polite thing to do and most of the time we all do it. But once in awhile I’ve been known to wedge it on the curb myself.
If you think I’m an ahole on FR you should see me when accosted about a shopping cart return at Kroger. 😉
Those CartNarc videos are pretty wild - he really goes after people. I’m amazed that guy hasn’t ended up in the hospital!
In a high trust society people return carts.
In Argentina slums people don’t .
I’ll do that if the corral is so disorganized it looks like a cart might get loose. I had a car seriously dented by a stray cart once. I figure it’s worth a few seconds of hassle to possibly save someone similar grief.
I guess I’m older than you, and I think you’re wrong about that. Cart corrals emerged in the 80s.
Since the deportations started it seems many Hispanic illegals in Florida self-deported. And the amount of trash I have to pick up in my front yard along the street has decreased by 90% or so.
People still litter and not everyone littered in the 60s.
I think the term “because they’re lazy assholes” comes immediately to mind.
My local market bought all new heavy plastic carts, easy rolling, and brand new. Ive found and returned the carts from as far as two blocks away.
Most of this is from illegals, barely speaking English, and also another very specific demographic, bussed up to our area.
I always take at least one cart from the parking lot on my way in to the store and return it to the cart corral when I leave. If everyone did this, there would be no need for a cart chaser til the end of the day.
I was in a store in Spain a few years go, and they actually have carts that easily move sideways. Wish they had those here.
Of course I always get the one where one of the wheels doesn’t work.
