The Shopping Cart Theory proposes that an individual's moral character can be determined by whether they choose to return a shopping cart to its designated spot after use or whether they simply leave it wherever it suits them...
"The shopping cart is the ultimate litmus test for whether a person is capable of self-governing.
To return the shopping cart is an easy, convenient task and one which we all recognize as the correct, appropriate thing to do.
To return the shopping cart is objectively right. There are no situations other than dire emergencies in which a person is not able to return their cart.
Simultaneously, it is not illegal to abandon your shopping cart.
Therefore the shopping cart presents itself as the apex example of whether a person will do what is right without being forced to do it.
No one will punish you for not returning the shopping cart, no one will fine you, or kill you for not returning the shopping cart, you gain nothing by returning the shopping cart.
You must return the shopping cart out of the goodness of your own heart. You must return the shopping cart because it is the right thing to do. Because it is correct.
A person who is unable to do this is no better than an animal, an absolute savage who can only be made to do what is right by threatening them with a law and the force that stands behind it.
The Shopping Cart is what determines whether a person is a good or bad member of society."

So, do you return your shopping cart or are you an 'absolute savage'? |

I return my trolley ( wtf is a cart ? ) to get my pound back.
I'd leave it in the car park if I felt like it.
I judge the return or not on distance , temperature and precipitation.
I'd dump a pound to stay warm and dry.
Rarrrrrrrrrrrrr. |

"What does it mean if you have to tidy up the other shopping carts as well when you return yours?
You don't 'have to', but if I have time I often do  "
I can’t not do it. I quite like putting them in the correct order.

In my case, it satisfies my OCD
I like my ducks in a row
Disorder messes with my head  |

"I always return mine.
Just seems the polite thing to do  "
This is AFTER she's pushed through the queue, shouted at an old lady to hurry up, threw the cash at the assistant and shouted fucking WAIT at cars blocking her trolley walk across the car park.......

Then I pick up some aloo-min-um foil which I put in the trunk of my SUV but before I drive home to my condominium I pop into the gas station to fill up |

I return it regardless. We use tokens so arent getting £1 back.
My thoughts are that I would hate for someones trolley to impact my experience (damage or delay), so I will not be responsible for my actions impacting someone else.
In the same way if I see a bin blown into the road as I walk past I will make it safe for other road users.
Its just common decency which these days is less common as people become more selfish in their actions. |

Aaaaaah, I've just had a penny drop moment 
Antiquey places are different
My mind expects disorder, my eyes are taken to other places in the search of that needle in the haystack
Don't get me wrong though, give me 6 months and I'd have the place shipshape
Hope you're doing well x |

I don't know what this says about society but i often observed that Walmart shoppers tended to abandon their cart anywhere whereas Target shoppers were much more likely to return theirs to appropriate areas. In the uk you almost never see lone carts except for the forementioned ones dumped miles from the shops and often in the river. Brits want their quid back! Such deep thoughts for a Saturday morning.
I always returned both my carts and my trolleys.

All the shop owners have to do is make it more convenient to take the trolley back.
Sometimes when I turn around in a vast car park and think ........ fucking hell.........
I dump the trolley.
The customer is not the only person to shoulder responsibility.
Putting a trolley shelter up isn't enough ...... There needs to be more , they need to be dry and they need to be usable..... so many twisted fucking , soaking wet trolleys in wet and windy shelters.

On the rare occasions I’ve used a shopping cart I have returned it to the garage type thingy.
I always take my empties back to the bar when ordering more drinks or on leaving the place of refreshment if this analogy relates.

That does my head in. Are people really so thick that they can't tell the difference between the line of big trolleys with kiddie seats and the line of shallow trolleys?! Why just dump it?
Reminds me of the people who don't tidy up after themselves in cafés or leave rubbish all over the park or beach. |

Brits are definitely much more polite than the yanks. They leave 'shopping carts' all over the 'parking lot' |

I use the trollies that clip on to the wheelchair frame. Sainsbury's keep changing their minds about where they store them and at the moment, it's behind a set of Christmas displays that makes it fucking awkward to get them out. Then I have to find somewhere that isn't in everyone's way to fiddle with the clips, whilst keeping tabs on a 3yo and trying not to clip my finger between the frame and the trolley.
I take the shopping to the car, put my daughter in and take my trolley back to where I found it, so that involves wheelchairing from the car to the shop and back again (ok, ok, the dizzy bays aren't too far). On the days we go there by wheelchair, we try and find an out of the way bit of the front of the shop, pack the bags and dangle them on the back of the chair, daughter straps in on my knee and we drop the trolley off on the way out.
If I can do it, anyone can and I mean that. |
