"I'm a job creator!" I yell, as I shit on the floor of the DMV. "If everyone did this they would have to hire more janitors!" The police drag me away. "I'm opening new avenues for employment in our police department!"

You are right of course, but that's part of the joke. I think it's provokes such a viseral response because it's directly "against" the reader, not many of us can claim to be directly impacted by genocide for example, even though it's way worse.

That's one of the things Aldi brought with them when they came over to the US. I've always thought it was a pretty cool idea, though as inflation keeps going the 25-cent lock-in becomes less and less of a motivator. Maybe a good reminder, though.

We have these at airports in the US for luggage carts - though they don’t return any of your money if you bring the cart back they l’ve seen, so it doesn’t do much to modify behavior.

So they can do nothing about it? Some supermarkets cut back on the number of spots so customers could do the job of car park staff without paying them cutting jobs in the process. It was deliberate.

Tesco do it, others like ASDA have the cart spots closer to the end of the car park.

I guess if you're that compliant in serving the capitalist class you can wash your dishes after you go to the restaurant. They'd love the "efficiencies"

It's adorable if you think that extra person is going to be working in store. There is a whole science around queue lengths that they use to cut jobs or push you to self service.

I guess the person would be warmer at home with no job, but it isn't a good solution.

So long as politicians are all painted with the same negative brush, there's no room for anyone with a genuine interest in improving things. There are some truly great, caring people in politics working hard to do the right thing. It's not their fault the public keeps voting for assholes.

I've often felt that genuine politicians can't possibly have it easy.

To even get started, step one is getting in bed with social media.

Want to know a sad irony? The cart returns are usually really far from the handicap spots. Parking is close to the store. But the returns are halfway down the aisle.

Add data peddlers on the list.

"I will not comply in serving the capitalist class!" I screech, as I shit on the floor of a Wendy's. "The so called "efficiencies" of a toilet only serve to annihilate the jobs once held by the noble proletariat janitors!" I yell as the police drag me out of the establishment.

Its adorable that you think someone's being hired to only do cart work in the modern day

That's one responsibility for someone doing a shit ton of other things, usually shopping for remote orders nowadays

So yeah, they'd be inside, return the cart you massive cunt

Well....maybe you should put your cart away lazybones. Then you won't have to worry about the Krampus getting you.

It's a thing in the UK as well

With how rarely I use cash I need my quarter back so I can use it to get a cart next time.

Good point. It's really just a cheap key you have to have with you.

Everyone agrees you should put your cart away, but there is no reward for doing so and no punishment for not doing it. Therefore it says a lot about the individual if they will "do the right thing" just because it makes things slightly better for other people, or if they won't bother doing a simple act in order to avoid inconveniencing someone else if they aren't forced to do so.

For such a simple act, it shows an extreme amount of selfishness to not do it.

Man, Elon is on that list 7 times.

What makes you think he puts the cart away?

lol ... I find it humorous that I'm getting downvoted for saying it ... if only people would get as upset about people putting away shopping carts as they do actual real world genocide.
