If you watched Tucker Carlson like a good comrade, you'd know that in Mother Russia, shopping carts have a little slot to stick your ruble to unlock it from the other carts. You get your ruble back when you return it. Although Tucker claimed to be amazed at this cutting edge technology, pretty much every grocery store in Europe has had these things since the mid-90s. So the bottom line is that the grocery chains don't want to make the investment in these things to get us to return the carts (or they don't think a quarter is enough to make people do it, and since we don't have any coins worth more than that, they're stuck).
I didn't know there was a "Shopping Cart Theory" until reading this. I've been watching "Cart Narcs" videos for years and have become a cart narc myself when I see people not return their carts! I think it's a bedrock measurement of humans in society, and I do my best by setting a good example. Sometimes, that's all we can do.
Cart Narcs is a separate column entirely. And what about those people who think they're good samaritans by propping their carts up with two wheel on the pavement and two wheels on the grassy divider? "I'm too lazy to return the cart but at least it won't roll off into the lot and ding another car."
Cart Narc guy is my hero. He needs to have a higher profile. He's a bastion of good behavior. Thoughtful, calm, respectful, non-violent. Love that guy.
I'm ashamed to admit it, but I sometimes fail the shopping cart test. Also, I will generally pocket the $5.00 some direct mailers provide (foolishly in advance) to complete a survey, without completing the survey. Does that make me a bad person? What? It does? Ah, well. . .
