Krampus

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.

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.

I starting to think that people have more respect for Krampus than they do the United Nations.

What makes you think he ever uses carts?

[email protected]

By definition he doesn't put them away then.

You think someone posting that they're pro-genocide would get less down votes?

I would like to add people who don't wipe down gym equipment after using it.

Fucking digesting animals.

No one historically shit on floors in supermarkets. They did historically have more cart spots, but decided to save money and cut jobs. The assumption is people will start doing the work for them.

They were very much right.

They put on self-service tills in the hope that folk would do it free. When they used to hire 30 checkout staff, they now hire 2 per 12 tills, so they save on 20 checkout staff per shift. Of course they weren't redeployed to shelf stacking, as they already had shelf stackers. They just went to the job centre.

If you are happy being complicit in the losses of jobs, go ahead. Persuade yourself you're moral and descent. You can either clap on the AI job losses as they hunt "productivity".

Supermarkets have jobs to keep the car park clear, and if it only needs 1, they'll hire one. If it needs half a shift, that person goes inside half the shift, but now they need less shelf stackers as they're over subscribed, so they can remove one head count off that.
If a supermarket has a cart spot near my car, I'll use it. If I have to walk 5 mins out my way to the entrance, it'll be placed neatly to the side joined to other abandoned carts not filling spaces and not blocking access to folk getting past.

So you think if the cart guy helped out the full time in the remote orders they wouldn't reduce a head count from that role? You know very little about how businesses run.

You could call me a cunt, but you're either naive or don't give a fuck about anything other than having acres of space for your SUV.

As someone who has done this job, I promise you, there's always another task to accomplish. Normally the cart fetchers are also the store's defacto janitorial staff, and there's plenty of cleaning to be done at a grocery store. You are ignorant in this arena.

Why do you think there is always another job to accomplish? Do you think that work magically appeared out of nowhere? Do you think your colleagues are slacking or do you think they had removed a head count from the cleaning staff because the cart staff will now do that role?

[email protected]

Dude there's never fucking been a role that was just cart fetching what gives you this weird ass idea

Many of my landlords were pretty decent people who actually cared about their tenants tho.

Putting a quarter into a cart is a thing in Canada but it's only ever at the low income grocery stores. The ritzier stores use a locking mechanism to lock the wheels if they leave the parking lot.

I dunno about nowadays but where I'm from Cart Boy was totally a single function job in retail stores. You'd be hired just to gather carts. My friend liked it when people left them further away cuz they'd have an excuse to dawdle a bit and not interact as much with annoying customers.

Funny I never see such hatred for people who leave their garbage on movie theatre seats or not clearing their trays at fast food places.
Some people have disabilities and sometimes it's just tough enough to shop and they are too tired or worn out by the end of their monthly shopping trip to bring the cart to the cart shed. I feel like everyone shitting on people leaving carts out of the cart shed are fully able bodied healthy young people who will one day do the thing they are complaining about, and realise they were being wieners about it. It's not the end of the world to leave your cart 10 metres from the shed.

I mean, most people are digesting animals, unless they're vegan.

Didn't someone make an audio file that can lock/unlock them at will?
