      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.

      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?
