I want others to return their carts so I expect the same from myself. Unironically, we live in a society, so that means cooperation for things to run smoothly
This is Contractualism. If anyone wants to learn more about this moral philosophy, you can read Scanlon’s What We Owe to Each Other, or for a better time, watch The Good Place.
And don’t forget all the jobs you make at the auto body shops fixing damage from carts! And all the jobs at the shopping cart factories from having to replace broken carts!
haha! that’s Gary Oldman’s character in The Fifth Element. One of the best movies and one of his best characters IMO. There is a scene where he’s dragged the priest into his office and after being accused by the priest of wanting to destroy life, as a rebuttal he breaks a glass on the floor which sets a flurry of automatic cleaning robots into action and says the destruction he caused creates work for robots which means work for the robot makers and enables them to have children. Something like that. I should have just linked the scene instead of trying to summarize from memory but of course who has time for a video link for everything? destruction creates life

More generally, this is the philosophy of deontology, or the study of duty/obligations if anyone is interested in seeing the whole eco system
The Good Place taught me that the solution to this problem is to let the cart run loose and kill the guy pulling the lever.

The cart corral things were invented in my lifetime, before that we were expected to walk that shit all the way back into the store.
