I’m doing my part.
I am extremely intrigued by this. Is it possible to know more?
When encountering an aggressive shopping cart, remember:
Shoot off a limb and they’re still 86% combat effective. Here’s a tip: Aim for the nerve stem and put it down for good…
What part of a shopping cart is the nerv stem? The coin thingie?
The only good shopping cart, is a dead shopping cart.
Go for the door at the back. Its contents will spill out and it won’t have the momentum to hurt you anymore.
Don’t be a lazybones
A mark of a true gentleman is the consideration that they give to others without anyone forcing them to do it.
I, too, wait until im outside the frozen yogurt place to fart up a storm.
If you see two out in the field, drag two back and use one for shopping, saves at least an extra life per turn.
I’m doing my part.
A friend of mine worked at Target and he said the best part of the day was collecting carts.
EDIT: I guess I’m lucky to live where the “cold” in the winter is in the 50s, and the “hot” of the summer is in the high 80s.
Your friend lied or y’all don’t live in the south bc I fuckin HAAAAATEEEDD that shit
Especially in the heat of summer. I feel bad for the cart wranglers when I see them going around the parking lot in the middle of the day.
What my man Edric here says is facts bc doing that in the summer or the winter is balls.
It’s ok ish spring and late fall but between our car delivery people and the cart people two of them got hit by a car within 6 months or so.
I’d much rather keep my annoying ass spot in electronics than be constantly pinching my fingers on carts and finnicking with the stupid cart wrangler controller in the hot sun or freezing winter
Hey it’s that or customers, I always wanted the trolley job. Only got to do it once when the usual guy was sick. Didn’t have to talk to a soul, could use my iPod. The day went so much faster.
The thing is, you still have to have someone collect them even when they’re in their proper spot you just don’t have parking spaces that could have had a car them filled with a shopping trolley, or trolleys rolling off and hitting parked cars. You also make that trolley guy’s day better by not making them have to pull the trolleys from places they aren’t supposed to be.
I used to work at a supermarket and agree that the trolley collection was by far the best job but I still hate those motherfuckers that leave their trolley just anywhere especially in otherwise valid parking spots.
If less cars are able to park at the shops that’s a win. We need to get people out of cars.
Crippling cars is not the solution to that problem, making better alternatives usable is.
Both. But the getting people out of cars is more important in the immediate term because cars are killing the earth
Alright but think about that for a minute here. The trolley is in a parking space… Because someone was loading the shopping in to their car and just left the trolley there inconsiderately. So like, they drove their car to the shops and did that. You could maybe add this to the list of measures to encourage alternative means of transport, but it’s certainly a funny way to go about it, sort of like just going out and driving so badly that it’s impossible for anyone else to be on the roads with you. Bit of a slash and burn approach, certainly morally compromised. Maybe it’d be for the greater good in some infinitesimally small way but I think it’d be hard for people to see it as particularly heroic more than what is more aptly describable as being an asshole.
Some people load up a trolley to fill their cargo bike
Greatly depends on the time of day, and the environment.
Cool breeze and an off hours so things are quiet and still? Yeah that’s not a bad way to spend 15-45 minutes. Middle of the summer when it’s 85F (30C) outside or middle of a downpour freezing water? Not so great. And don’t even get me started on blizzard conditions or people shoving carts up onto the grass cause the extra 20 steps to the cart corral was just too much.
Based and cart-pilled
shopping cart logic also applies to buying fairtrade coffee or chocolate or clothes, no one will force you to be a good person and you gain jackshit from it as a lone operator.
The shopping cart one is better because it’s literally just barely more time / effort. Fair trade stuff can be expensive compared to their counterpart. People in rougher financial situations really can’t make that choice every time.
alright then dont buy it, youre acting like coffee and chocolate are necessities. clothes are a pass
I’d wager there are daily goods that have far more exploitation than most people would be comfortable with.
But you are right in some cases things aren’t necessities and could probably be limited or cut out. That being said, there’s a morale / mental component too. For example, you don’t need that chocolate birthday cake for your sibling, parent, child, etc., but it is still is considered very important. If it wasn’t there, it could be considered a huge blow and/or insulting.
I’ve heard a counter to this argument, some comedians also.
Basically, creates jobs for cart collector and for people to pick up cloths and random stuff left around.
It.was a funny take, but not sure how true or false it is…
Funniest thing I’ve seen lately.
