In Spain you have to use a coin to detach a cart from the others.
Well, I have a homemade metal thingy than can release the cart without a coin AND I can pull the thing right back out so I don’t even have to leave it in the coin slot.
When I’m done I still leave the cart in the return area and attach it to the others. I don’t even leave it unattched for the next person, because some pieces of shit already leave carts around the parking lot somehow.
I’m a petty motherfucker and I wish the worst to those assholes.
Doesn’t work in America because the largest coin is a quarter (i.e. 25 cents), likely not enough to deter theft (or even laziness).
So instead, many supermarkets installed a system that locks up the carts’ wheels if they’re taken off the property, which makes them extremely difficult to push. Unfortunately, that also doesn’t help with laziness, so we still need memes like this.
I take carts out and move them around. Fight me.
When the air is too intense, it can move carts around and break them into a parked or even a moving car. I didn’t believe it before I saw it myself. One another reason to fix them in a corral. Redoing a paint job after such random shit’s what I wish not to myself, nor to anyone.
Surprisingly, there’s many videos of that: https://youtube.com/watch?v=eHMHxpoVi84
I don’t always put the cart back… But the times I don’t are the times I am finished with said cart right as someone going into the store comes along and offers to take it to use themselves.
Idk why but to me, the front-facing chad always looks like he’s doing a
blep
I work on a system of cart karma. I try to use carts that are abandoned in the lot. I try to return them most times but I don’t always. As long as I put away more than I take then my contribution is net positive.
I’ve never understood why people don’t put them away. At worst, it’s like 1 minute of your time
I think that says a lot about Americans because it’s basically unheard of in Europe. And we do have our fair share of selfish assholes here too
I am not sure about that. In any given grocery store parking lot, in my experience, the vast majority of our carts get returned and we have an enormous asshole population here in America. I wouldn’t say unreturned carts is a huge problem here either
What stops you from returning them in the situations in which you don’t?
I am assuming it’s got something to do with your bones.
“Weee-wooo weee-wooo weee-wooo… Sir, I’ve noticed that you’ve missed the cart return. That’s okay, it’s kinda hard to find. See, the cart goes over there.”

For anyone missing the reference: CartNarcs Absolute treasure trove of comedy gold featuring entitled shitty people.
I mean you are just throwing away money if you don’t. Oh wait they might be American.
Actually where I live, some places have started ditching carts with coins
shit
No coin here in my country, it’s an ancient artifact if a cart has a coin slot.
A lot of places in the UK don’t have the coins deposit thing either. I pretty much avoid our local Aldi because they have this, and I never have any cash on me.
