Yeah and honestly why use a turn signal? They'll figure it out when you turn. And speed limits are obviously set too slow because everyone just dies ten over, right? And there's like a solid three seconds after the light turns red where there's basically zero change anyone will be in the intersection right? Social cohesion, order and civic pride are meaningless. Move on.

Why is this such a thing people are obsessed with? Like there’s a billion things wrong with the world at every scale imaginable and your concern is the cart return guy has to walk around an extra 10 ft? There isn’t even consensus amongst the people who have to do the cleanup that this is bad. Just move on.

Why do you think those are analogous? You’re telling me you genuinely believe that running a red light is analogous to putting a shopping cart in the wrong place? If you seriously think this: you’re deranged and need help.

Or you could follow the basic signs that are written up everywhere and have the basic human decency of returning the thing that you took in the first place

what signs? Only a few stores have any signs explicitly mentioning where carts should go, it’s just typically common sense that it shouldn’t go in the middle of the road.

No, it’s every store. They have to. If they didn’t have the signs put up then they could be legally liable for any accidents involving free carts in the parking lot. By having the signs up they avoid that responsibility by putting it on you.
This really is just about basic common decency. The rest of us put the carts back because we still have some.

Oh you mean the liability signs? Yeah if you let lawyers near anything they will put up signs. This is why you put them in the corner with blinders on and a nice heartwarming Hallmark movie playing so they don’t go crazy from a mixture of cocaine and anxiety.
