  You return your cart because it’s the right thing to do

  I return my cart to get my euro back that I put in to unlock it

    Mr fancy pants here with full euro coins.

    I treasure my red plastic €0.50 coin replica more than my life.

      I put in a 2€ and look down on other shoppers

      You guys can use €0.50 coins?! Over here in Australia it’s either a $1 or $2 coin. I wish I could chuck a 50¢ piece in the trolley.

        50 eurocent coins are actually about the same size as 1 and 2 euro coins, so that’s why

      Why not just 3D print a few more?

        Why 3d print them when the same supermarket gives them out for free?

    I’m also a cart-straightener

    Blows my mind how some people actually manage to walk their cart to the corral, and then decide they’re going to abandon any semblance of order in putting the carts away, you’ve already done the hard part by walking over, it takes less than a second to just not be an idiot when you push your cart in there.

    Big carts in one line, small carts in the other, seems easy but they all put the square peg in the round hole.

    And at least try to line them up. I don’t care if you push them all the way in, just try to line them up so that they can be pushed together.

    what I don’t get is when there’s multiple rows of carts, people often put their cart in the row that is already the longest, instead of putting it in the shortest one to balance it out

      Sheep mentality, another way in which the shopping cart is the mirror of our society

      I’ll also go fetch a couple on the way if I see some hanging out. It’s not because I’m trying to make the cart wrangler’s job easier, but because it’s not orderly and it bothers me. I have to consciously limit myself or I’d end up patrolling the whole lot.
