A pound is a decent amount because even if people go "ah, F it, I'll leave the trolley it's raining" there'll be someone who goes "ooh free pound coin!" and returns it pretty quickly!

I don't mind giving it up to help out someone heading in while I am leaving. If those quarters ever come between me and food and shelter, I am fucked far worse than those handful of quarters I gave away would ever help out with anyways.
That's pretty acceptable! That's what the little trolly houses are for!Always return my cart, although I must confess it goes in the nearest "corral" not back inside unless I'm parked right near the door.
Although the one for wheelchairs outside my hospital is full of smokers now that the hospital is smoke free and they got rid of the smoking shelters!That's pretty acceptable! That's what the little trolly houses are for!
We call them the Aldi quarters. I dig their store model. Exchanging a little extra labor for significant savings works for me. Publix will vacuum your wallet clean like in a cartoon if you don't stick to buy one get one free aka BOGO items and sale ads. It is expensive because they will bag for you, and even take everything to the car and put it in. Full service like the old days. You don't have to tip them, store policy is not to. While I ain't turning this into a tipping thread, I would tip if they brought my stuff to the car. I see them grab carts on the way back so @ksheets is not being a douche bag by not returning them there, It really is part of the service that sets them apart.I use cash for everything, but I keep a quarter in my wallet for aldi in case I'm out of pocket quarters.
That is brilliant. Instead of wasting an employee/payroll on the tasks, customers do the work for someone else's pound.A pound is a decent amount because even if people go "ah, F it, I'll leave the trolley it's raining" there'll be someone who goes "ooh free pound coin!" and returns it pretty quickly!
You oughta hear me when I'm on a hiking trail and someone has thoughtfully bagged up their dog's turd and then gone and LEFT THE FUCKING BAG ON THE TRAIL 🤬There is a set of common decency behavioral norms that should be adhered to and shame heaped upon those who do not (unless they are literally disabled).
In this vein my brain when I see somebody litter:

Okay bear with me. I have done this to avoid carrying it with me and having it smell up the duration of my hike. My dog almost always goes within like five minutes on the trail. I’ll hide it behind some tree in a nook so it won’t bother people and grab it on the way out. Hopefully these degenerates of yours are doing the same thing.You oughta hear me when I'm on a hiking trail and someone has thoughtfully bagged up their dog's turd and then gone and LEFT THE FUCKING BAG ON THE TRAIL 🤬
I usually pick up trail litter, but rarely do I stoop to hauling some fucking asshole's dog's turd with me.
At least you grab it on the return trip!Okay bear with me. I have done this to avoid carrying it with me and having it smell up the duration of my hike.

They still have the trolley guys that empty the trolley huts and push huge trains of trolleys around.That is brilliant. Instead of wasting an employee/payroll on the tasks, customers do the work for someone else's pound.
Custom charcoal grill. You'll be rich.No, I take the cart home with me. I have about 3000 of them now. I don't know what to do with them, as there's a mountain of them in my yard and my house is full of shopping carts.
No, I'm talking about people who just leave it RIGHT THERE on the side of the trail. Seen them persist over multiple days sometimes too, so some of these people definitely aren't grabbing it on their way back.Okay bear with me.

Some of the bigger supermarkets in towns and cities in the UK have weird little grids on all the exits from the car parks that make the trolley wheels lock up so you can't push the trolleys off the premises.No, I take the cart home with me.

One of my favorite things to do as a cashier in HS: finding excuses to take walks in the store. Stocking or leveling shelves and asked if we have something, take a walk to the back room knowing nothing is back there...I used to like when carts made their way to the other end of the parking lot when I worked as a cart pusher/bagger at age 15. Game me an excuse to get out of the store and take a slow walk to go get them.
I return them now because I’m not deranged

Yeah, I was wondering if the thread was about the carts I sometimes find left in front of my house. I call the store (it's about 1/3 mile away) and they pick them up.No, I take the cart home with me. I have about 3000 of them now. I don't know what to do with them, as there's a mountain of them in my yard and my house is full of shopping carts.
Yes, I regard litterers as worse examples of humanity than people who do not leave their shopping carts at designated locations.There is a set of common decency behavioral norms that should be adhered to and shame heaped upon those who do not (unless they are literally disabled).
