People who don’t return shopping trolleys, what do you do with the time you save?

Gives me more time to finish my coffee and throw the cup on the ground

Ex Walmart Cart Boy here.

I don’t return shopping carts. Despite all the dirty looks I get in the lot and the downvotes I get on MassimoL. When you make minimum wage to put up with everyone’s crap, those trips out to the parking lot strolling around collecting the carts were the highlight of my day. They’re are no Managers out in the parking lot harassing me. “Where are you? What are you doing?” “Sorry boss, gotta collect these carts in the back of the lot, you know how people are”

People who return carts aren’t helping the people, they are helping the corporation.

In The Netherlands you need to insert a 50 cent coin to unlock a trolly from the one in front of it.
As the Dutch are frugal, we happily return the trolly.

This will never work in the USA though, no one carries coins in the first place.

Well, if they hadn’t taken so long to let me talk to the manager, I wouldn’t be late for my kid’s soccer practice. Your incompetency – which I informed your manager of – absolved me of any moral responsibility I have for today. Hey, speaking of which, you have any babies I could shake or puppies I could kick while I’m on the property? Might as well make the most of it while I’m projecting all of my flaws and ethical inadequacies on you, Mr. “Sales Associate.”

I am also curious.
