      If someone blows all four of your tires in one car, you can use the spare plus the spare from each of the other three.

    Who cares if they are Drug dealer or on Only Fans. Do they put the cart back at the store?

      I gotta be honest, my bf or I still make sure the cart goes back every time we shop, but I increasingly question whether I should bother. These grocery stores keep raising their prices well above inflation so they can pocket the rest and brag to shareholders about it, at the cost of people who actually shop there.

      It’s tempting to say that if they’re going to play that game, they get no courtesy from me as a customer and can hire more cart collectors. It’s miniscule on an individual level, but it is unpaid labor.

      There’s the argument that unreturned carts mostly inconvenience other customers, but honestly if the store is exploiting both customers’ goodwill and wallets, I think it’s fine to make the experience at that store just that little bit worse; maybe that last little push will encourage people to shop elsewhere (where it’s an option of course, i.e. not a small town).

      I don’t feel this urge at stores like H Mart even though they have so many fewer return stalls and it’s often a longer walk to do so.

      I guess this is kind of an antithesis to Shopping Cart Theory I’ve been developing in my head over the past little while. It’s conditional on the store itself being overtly greedy, but I think there might be something to it.

        I see your point but two out the last three cars I’ve had both got a huge dent in their right front fender because someone didn’t put the cart up and it rolled down a slight grade into them.

          You should check with the laws in your state (or your insurance agency, if you have a low enough deductible.).

          Just because the grocery store puts up a sign that they are not responsible for damages doesn’t mean they aren’t. They have a first amendment right to lie, and a game-theory reason to do so.

        Nah this is just trying to rationalize being a dick to your fellow human being who’s trying to park. The employee making min wage isn’t caring that the carts are further, it just means they can waste more time per trip.

        If you actually wanted to do something against the corporation, you shop somewhere else.

          Just like the shopping cart theory itself, this is mostly just a thought experiment at this point in time.

          The point of a protestation is to make it hard for others to ignore, and make it clear what the end condition is. I don’t plan on just starting to do this as an individual because it would have no impact; I still make sure my own carts get returned personally.

          The point stands that our goodwill is frequently exploited for profit, often under the pretense that it’s just basic human decency.

    Drug deals and OF girls can be good people, but someone who judges people based on the nature of their labor can’t.

    Remember the girl that said shit like “Mm ice cream so good” and “gang gang” on TikTok? She got hella rich. I remember she reported a number, I don’t ever what it was, but she made it in a week and it was more than my annual salary.

    In what the fuck kind of fucked up shitty social media do you have to censor “drug”? Is this a goddamn Mormon meme or some shit?

        I don’t have anything against OF or sex work, but I’ve always though that negative judgements against clients suggest a negative judgement against the service provider. If the act of providing the service is OK then surely the act of receiving the service is also morally sound? Unless the service provider has a morally ambivalent attitude to their own work? I say this as someone who had a long term partner doing sex work. Contempt for clients seems unfair and possibly hypocritical. Just people trying to satisfy a biological and emotional need.

        Honestly I don’t get the OF hate in general. We all have watched porn and we probably liked at least some of what we have seen. What is wrong about earning a living with producing what other people want and like? And as I don’t think, we argue about people consuming porn but about paying for it, what the fuck is wrong with paying the content creator? Why do we prefer paying agencies with ad revenue while the agency effectively scams their talent? Why no ads but cash? Why agency and not talent?

      Yeah this is strange. People need to stop vilifying sex work. If the person is doing it willingly, they’re not hurting anyone, and they enjoy doing it, what’s the problem?

        There’s a spectrum going from someone just posting stuff and getting paid to shameless exploitation of vulnerable people through parasocial relationships. The latter can be very lucrative.

    DISCLAIMER: No, i dont think that OF people are bad (although the sex industry is shady as fuck, but that doesnt have anything to do with the people there in most cases), i just stole this from xitter because i thought it was funny due to the drug part
