    In the UK you have to put a £1 coin in to unlock it. Whenever you return the trolley back, it gives you the coin back

    My favorite part about when this gets posted is that there is always someone trying to justify not putting the shopping cart back.

    Edit: didn’t even have to scroll half a screen length lmao.

    I take other people’s trolleys back on my way because I’m not a piece of shit.

    Murica, fucked up because of shopping carts. In germany you have to put money in the cart, and get it back while bringing the cart back to where it is from. Problem solved.

    BUT! What if the parking lot is four miles long and there are no cart returns anywhere and you’re tired because you’ve been working 20 hour days with no time off and it’s 140 degrees outside and the grocery store is exploiting their workers and you haven’t eaten in days and you have a disability and the carts are coin operated and this is literally the only way to solve the unemployment crisis? WHAT THEN??

    I uh, avoid taking a cart, because I have a big ass reusable shopping bag. I’m not sure where that leaves me.

    It’s interesting to read the comments, as there are people who are like

    I sometimes don’t return the cart and I attest myself to not be a bad person. Therfore the test is bullshit.

    But then they behave like a dick in the comments; showing involuntarily that the test is a good metric.

    So I think even a post about this test works like the test on a more meta level.

    TIL I’m mostly a good person but sometimes I am also no better than an animal and an absolute savage who will only do right when threatened. Interesting. Another thing is that I’m grateful for other savages who don’t put their carts back cause I don’t have to walk so far to get a cart.

    I return mine because its an opportunity to get more steps in.

    After taking it outside boundaries so a wheel locks up.

    Look at tge people returning them in the lot, mostly fat and/or wealthy.

    We have now this in Migros and Coop:

    Place it in the stack at the checkout where you unload it and go. Kinda breaks that test. And a headache less for the clerks.
