Another BS metric to judge people by. Some folks are “compelled” to put a cart in a designated cart area just to pat themselves on the back, some don’t even think about it while they do or don’t. Others that I know personally are not going to even try because of health issues and because they refuse to get a placard to park closer in order to take advantage,they will make the trudge to their vehicle but can’t make it to the cart area simply because of health issues. The worst part of this thread is how judgy people are about the stupid things of life. IT DOESN’T MATTER in the bigger scheme of daily life whether or not one puts a shopping cart in a particular area. Some folks need to get a real life.

Heh, you sound like a lot of fun at parties!

Nobody takes it all that seriously-it is just fun to consider why some people do some things one way, and others do it completly different, and assign some silly predictive aspect to it.

Heck, we all do it consciously or unconsciously anyway. Might as well get a laugh out of it.

This is one of those things.

Took you longer to type a response than it takes to return a cart...

Well it kind of does matter, in terms of putting shopping carts away. If you park far from the store and leave cart there it may become a vehicle for a homeless person who has worn out a previous shopping cart or maybe wants a second or third cart to transport the stuff they would pile in their garage if they had one. The cost of unreturned shopping carts is borne by consumers. If you don’t care about the store or the other people who shop there or the surrounding neighborhoods then by all means leave the carts wherever is convenient for your own self. I would bet that liberals would leave the carts wherever and conservatives would take the carts back.

I will disagree that this is a "BS metric."

I worked in 50% black Clarksdale MS for half a year. All the people I encountered there were friendly. However, I've never seen so many unparked carts at the Walmart. Telling.

Other nearby Walmarts didn't have this issue. The Batesville Walmart about 30 miles east and in a mostly white area had no isolated carts. The West Helena Walmart about 30 miles north white about 25% black population had about half as many unparked carts as Clarksdale.

So there you go... this is a racist indicator! The stronger the white privilege the less ghetto there is and the more carts get put away.

Thank you. Somebody had to say it.
At first I thought the writer was only joking. No. She’s totally sincere in her belief, and in how significant that act is in defining her character.

Just don't be the guy who wipes his boogers onto the wall above the urinal... we have a civilization to uphold, y'know.

Ah, I take it you don't do that.

So YOU are one of those people who just leave shopping carts wherever, expecting that OTHER people will take care of it for you. Go ahead and quote "health issues" as an excuse to just leave the cart wherever. But somehow they managed to get into the store with the cart and shopped around.

They were healthy enough for all that but not healthy enough to walk a few extra steps to put the cart into the corral.

OK then!
