Comment on Posting the shopping cart theory because people had questions in a separate thread
Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 6 days agoIts neither a good or bad. It could be argued either way, which makes it a matter of opinion.
You even have cart returners here in this thread arguing to not return them in some cases.
The real answer is that whether yoy put a CSRT back or not says nothing about someone’s character.

It’s absolutely a good.
The only “cart returner” I saw against it basically just claimed that the people in their town/state/country were too incompetent to operate shopping carts (even if that’s not what they explicitly said) so idk if i really trust them or want to use that as a measure.
Making work for others to save yourself some trivial amount of work absolutely says something about your character

I’m saying it doesnt rise to the level of determining if someone is a good or bad person. Besides the fact that noone is good or bad.

Who’s Noone, and what them good or bad?

Exactly.

Let me put it another way:
They fail the vibe check
It’s a red flag
Bad vibes and red flags don’t mean for sure someone is a bad person, they’re a call to be alert and suspicious.

That only applies if its someone in your social circle. You can follow up with them and ask why, learn about their struggles or stance on it.
With strangers you have none of that, just little glimpses into their life for a few seconds as they cross yours. When we are out in public it is very important to make quick judgments for safety, but this often is confused with moral judgment.
There are very few people in each persons social circle that they know well enough to judge morally. Strangers aren’t close enough by a long shot.
With all this considered, I have to conclude its best to always give strangers the benefit of the doubt when personal safety isnt involved.
I’m concerned this post is showing people are coming to the opposite conclusion, that we now have this great new way to judge strangers we shouldnt be judging to begin with.
