Problem with that is they'll charge even more and them the people never see that tax money

I see Luigi isn't on the naughty list. Based Santa.

If you are going to make me put a coin into a cart because you don't trust me to be an adult and tidy up after myself without being nannied, then I am going to do my damndest to bypass your lock and leave a mess out of spite.
In the shops where I am trusted and not required to pay a coin (I never even carry cash these days) I tidy up because that is the decent thing to do.

Right, you're using them as insurance. You give them money, they pool cash you literally can't get because the system is out to crush you, and on the off chance something goes wrong they take a small hit to their profiting from your suffering.

It can cost much less than 50 cents
0.5 RON can be used, which are about 10 cents. You can also use fake plastic coins

Don't forget how many apartment buildings are owned by corporate landlords though. Western Canada has a huuuge problem with the slumlord billionaires at Mainstreet and others.
The out-of-date data I can find has 35% of BC apartments as investor-owned.

I guess that's likely the difference. With the big company owned apartments you usually deal with a super intendant or building manager instead of the landlord directly. So the renter is seen as a faceless number rather than an actual person to the owners you are paying money to. There's a lack of empathy towards the renter.

Yeah, might just wanna remember that the people that clean up your mess aren't the same ones who put a coin lock on the cart.
Maybe you don't care, but your rage isn't really being channeled in a way that gets vengeance on the right people. It just hurts your working class allies.

Maybe where you live you are an outlier and not representative of the average person behavior. At least where I leave there is no coin system and people leave carts all around. I suspect that is even worse than what I see because there are employees always gathering carts.

Krampus should the entire US healthcare industry.

The beauty of this is you'd be able to afford all of these if wages and housing costs were reasonable. The rich are the cause of both issues.

In that example, yes it would.
I don't agree with your premise. When Tesco had more cart stations, I used them. I use them in Asda because they aren't far from the car, but when they remove stations to cut jobs, they are the ones being rude.
I'm not in the US. We never had gas station attendants. I guess fuel theft was never the same issue here as in the States.
It's very hard to use bank tellers. Many branches got shut down. It was never really a thing in my lifetime.
It's very easy to accept situations when you don't see it change. You accept it as fact. Young folk just accept you don't have data privacy because it never really existed in their life time.
Supermarkets automate things or put the work onto customers not to pass those savings on to customers, but to increase their margins at the cost of peoples jobs. Some folk are just fine with that.
Many would welcome automation if the gains and benefits were shared around. But it isn't. The rich get richer and the unemployment line grows. The media train folk to hate the unemployed, like it was their choice their job was removed.
If the only way to keep a fairer wealth distribribution is to keep folk in jobs, so be it. We don't have basic income or a 4 day week yet.

Firstly, it isn't a few meters. Secondly, I think the term is disabled but hey, name calling isn't a new thing.
I'm not in the USA BTW.

Not where you work.
You also failed to answer any of my points. If the head count is 0.25 per hour rather than 0.75, they'll combine rolls and cut a head count. If 2 roles require 0.75, then they need 1.5 staff and need to round up, if it's 1.1, they round down and a headcount gone. The shift will be run with 70 staff rather than 71.
How can you work in the role and not know how it works?

Oh hey look they can't read, either! No wonder their arguments are so piss poor

Are you a good person or just incapable of thinking for yourself? Because they look a lot alike.
It's something to think about.
