    Reminds me of shopping cart theory.

          Plenty of good things come out of 4chan, it’s just that the bad ones outnumber them by a lot.

          Kind of like with humans in general.

      No one will kill you, but I might call you a cunt-muffin to your face. And you can’t even complain to anyone about it because when you tack muffin on the end it sounds sort of cute and you sound like even more of a cunt-muffin for complaining. Ya cunt-muffin.

        Caveat: Do not use that word in America unless you intend a fist fight.

        My Pilipino wife asked the other day, “What is C U N T?”

        “It’s a pussy, and don’t use it.”

        I don’t think anyone will confront you about such things where I live or where anon lives. So there isn’t even that incentive. Someone might look at you disapprovingly, but more likely they’re just condemning you in private without showing it.

        One incentive used to be to get your money back, but nowadays many are unlocked.

      What if I’m in a rush? Also, as a customer, the carts and the people that gather the carts are part of the convenience of shopping quickly at the store. I return the cart when it’s not an inconvenience.

        It takes two minutes at most to return a cart. If you’re that short on time, plan better. Also returning carts is not just for the convenience of the staff, it also prevents carts from blocking spaces and damaging cars.

          There are interim places that are out of the way of spots, like little islands where lampposts are mounted. The fact of the matter is that most lots don’t have enough corrales.

          You might be able to make time to putz around the parking lot, but I keep busy. This is not a time management issue.

            Well of course it’s not a time management issue, because it takes like 1% of the shipping trip.

            I feel like I JUST recently saw an image or two that explains what it might be an issue with…

              Yes. I typically do the right thing, but not when it’s inconvenient. I have empathy, but it only goes so far.

                  I don’t drive a car. I drive a truck. I take up multiple spots if it’s convenient and won’t ruffle anyone’s feathers. Today, someone tried to race ahead of me on a merge where they were in the right lane and I didn’t let them. They remind me of your sentiment. I could somehow let the person from the right lane cut in front of me by jamming on my breaks, but their place is clearly behind me in the right lane yielding to merge into my main lane. I am the main lane story, the cart boy is a supporting NPC.
