I uh, avoid taking a cart, because I have a big ass reusable shopping bag. I'm not sure where that leaves me.

Wait, so you’re putting your unpaid items in the bag? I know there’s nothing inherently wrong with that but I’d be worried that someone would stop me or say something so I just hold on to mine until I check out.

Don't know about you people, but here in Hungary (Eastern-Europe) I haven't ever seen a cart not returned at least as far as I remember.

I've gone out of my way multiple times to put up multiple cats that were blocking parking spaces, including handicap spaces. While the handicap ones make it seem like the person is an extra asshole, I wonder if it's the handicap person that leaves it there and it just moves into the space. There's are very few stores that put a corral by handicap spaces.

Interesting idea... Is human morality (in situations where no punishment exists) a result of the societies we live in and our societal expectations, our upbringing, or is there some inherent morality (guilt from doing something bad, or satisfaction from doing the right thing) within most people?

Whilst I do live somewhere that has trolleys with coins, sometimes you get one that is damaged and doesn't require a coin. Yet I still return those ones, because why wouldn't I? It only takes a minute.

I was concerned this was going to be a comment about what I put in my shopping cart.

But I can tell I'm an individual of extreme self-discipline because after I filled my shopping cart with chocolate and vodka I return it to the carousel.

Everyone praised me.

Around here there are definitely consequences in the form of pesky looks and headshakes. Well at least coming from me.

What if you take them home to burn leaves in?
