Ladies and gentlemen, exhibit A
Your misguided attempt at rebellion against capitalism in reality only hurts the grunt that has to pick up after your inconsiderate ass. You think your behavior actually costs the company anything? You think they hire an extra person because of people like you? No. You just make some poor sap at the bottom of the pecking order that much more miserable
Congratulations on making yourself feel righteous at the expense of your fellow plebs
Superbly put good sir… or miss.
No, it's a job and you're an entitled prick who thinks it magically happens. Supermarkets where I live make billions. They can definitely afford to pay low skilled workers, of which there are plenty, to do this work.
you're entirely correct, but what people are also missing is: if the weather's nice, getting outside and pushing carts is a welcome break to the fluorescent lights and other drudgery of the store...
anyone who's ever actually worked a retail job will tell you that going outside every once in a while is pretty nice.
picking up trash in the rain sucks, but pushing a cart is leisurely compared to whatever else they'll have you do.
We're definitely on the same side. What many people see as an inconvenience is a job for many. I once had a boss who's first company was a trolley collection company, he started from nothing, worked hard and sold it for $1m in Australia.
Sounds like they need to unionize and get paid enough to make it worth it then. There's no moral obligation to do labor for corporations for free or under paid.
Lol "moral obligation". You don't do it because you're obligated. You do it because it's nice for the worker, and for the other customers who don't want to navigate around your abandoned cart
I never said I don't return carts...
Me thinks there is a contradiction afoot
Are your saying you provide free labor for no reason?
Reading must be difficult for you. Yes I am saying I provide free labor for no reason.
Humans are stupid animals and we do a lot of things for no reason.
If you're taking an action, then there's a reason for it, even if you don't yourself comprehend it ;D
Also "I do random shit for no reason" may not be a great thing to admit. I point you back to the "Savage animal" bit in the original comment
It's probably some sort of social instinct
Right. Animals act solely on instinct
