After seeing this discussion being brought up again, I was going to genuinely ask you all to explain where that comes from. I’m from Brazil and I don’t recall ever shopping at a place with a large parking lot, which I believe might be part of the issue. I was thinking how come people value this act so much and before starting to write a post here I sent a message to a friend, then it hit me: it’s absurd.
I mean it. The feeling I had reading the comments wasn’t confusion or ignorance, it was the cognitive dissonance of looking at the world I live in and what people decided marks a person as decent. This is one of the moments I really have to stop and check if I’m not actually the crazy one. I really can’t think of something smaller to care about that someone else will defend so vehemently. Really, try me, I’m already broken again.
Returning the cart, or at least moving it out of the road, means I don’t have to get out of my car and
lob the cart at your car as you drive offmove the cart out of the way to park my car. Decency has nothing to do with what you do for yourself - it’s all about what you do for others.Personally I don’t really care where the cart is as long as it’s out of the way and not a problem for the store’s staff to access it.
