The actual channel these are from instead of this reposter: https://youtube.com/@CartNarcs
Wow that video is insufferable… What does this actually have to do with cars? I don’t see how people being too lazy to put a shopping cart back is really relevant to this sub
Edit: community, not sub. Gonna be a while till I fully work out all of the redditisms.
Agreed with you. Not only is this guy insufferable and annoying, it has nothing to do with this community. Seems like lazy spam posting
I feel like I’m back on PublicFreakout.
What does this actually have to do with cars?
Part of his shtick is that he puts a magnet on their car if they don’t do the right thing. When he puts the magnet on the car they freak out and act like they’ve been personally assaulted. It’s peak carbrain!
Here’s another example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Redc1mvyLaw
I hate cars as much as the next car hater, but I feel harping on people for not returning carts is not the right battle. I say this as an avid cart returner.
When I was a kid working retail I loved going out and returning the carts because it gets you outside and it sucks being stuck inside an entire shift
I hated it during those summer months though. They had us on 30 minute shifts and by the end of it I felt like I was dying of exhaustion. Not a whole lot of shade in that parking lot.
I agree with the idea behind cart narcs, but man he takes it too far… arguably being more of a nuisance than the initial issue of not returning the cart.

While I don’t necessarily agree with the guys techniques, I think the putting yourself before everyone else attitude that is the cause of this behaviour is actually s big problem that causes all manner of other problems down the line. If people respect their fellow peoples society will function much better.

The thing is that it’s absolutely illusory that we as humans evolve beyond that
Sounds like that makes it important for us to focus on it, culturally.

Indirectly, yes. He’s ridiculous, but by engaging with him everyone in the video (the people not returning the carts) looks ridiculous.
I don’t watch enough to see if there’s people who do return them, but I imagine they look a lot more normal than the alternative.

I think it’s weird you’re putting the words “profound solution” in my mouth, but you do you.
Whybisnit his job to solve the fucking housing crisis?

Bingo, not returning the shopping cart is a great metric for whether someone is a decent person as the only reason to do it is because it is the most helpful thing to do for others, BUT it isn’t a real problem in society that needs addressing.

The only reason to put it away is to help others. If you are willing to do that you can likely be trusted to do the bare minimum for a group and if you aren’t you cannot be counted on for common courtesy. This isn’t a particularly challenging concept. Im not sure why you are failing but I can’t make people competent.

It’s good to know that English is not your first language as that explains how you are entirely missing the part where I mention this isn’t a real problem.
The fact that my posts are only two to three sentences suggests that you likely have a severe memory problem.
Both are solvable problems which our society chooses not to solve. I remember the first time outside the U.S. when I saw a shopping cart where you insert a coin to unlock it from the pack. Certainly not as easy to solve homelessness, right now outside some small but promising pilot projects for ‘housing first’ it appears most people are still stuck in the stage of complaining unhoused folks lower their property values.
This cartnarcs weirdo just harasses random people who are clearly struggling, you can’t do this ethically in a country with this kind of mental health crisis going on.
how are they struggling so much with a mental health crisis that they can drive to the store, grab a cart, fill the cart with groceries, pay, take cart back to car to fill car with groceries but the line is drawn at putting the cart back where it’s not blocking people?
And don’t get me wrong, i agree cartnarcs people are weird and borderline harassing, but why is it some kind of mental health crisis that we’re blaming instead of just plain old arrogance? Do you always just see people being assholes in public and chalk it up to an assumption that they’re struggling mentally?
This line of thought it borderline concern trolling. Like, what?
You clearly don’t understand what I posted and you are reading a lot into it, but I don’t really feel like explaining it to you, but just know I was amused by this.
Fuck off.
Cope and seethe, moron.
