Why is this practice promoted?
It's someone's job and they make their money grabbing those carts, aren't we taking that away from them if all is perfectly arranged and they can just collect the carts in 2 minutes? This concept seems to only benefit the business in saving labor?
Coincidentally, I was checking out two days ago at a Costco and the manager came up to my cashier and said, "close up after this one, I'm going to send you home early okay?" The cashier said, "yeah, I guess..." But you could tell they clearly didn't want to leave early. If there were a bunch of carts in the parking lot at that point, feels like that person might get an extra 30 mins or so on the clock... Why aren't we supporting that? Manager would say, " let's close you down after this one, and then please do a lap in the parking lot to grab carts before you go"
Us carefully putting the carts away as customers is just free labor that the corporation benefits from... Period. How does this help the worker making an hourly wage?
I hope you hit a shopping cart in a parking lot.
Oooh I can escalate this one. I hope you learn to drive, so you can get safely home rather than hitting very large, often brightly colored baskets with padding on all four corners.
So that you can cut your foot in the shower, get a disease, and have to have it amputated. See it escalated!
Tee hee?
Escalated from consequences for your actions to a deranged death fantasy. Must be disturbing to be around you.
Wait does amputation mean death?
Shit I had the wrong definition all along 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Def my b 4sūr
Also, we're all just mechanicals. There is no moral high ground where you're reaching.
I hope you learn to consider nuance and stop arguing against the interests of workers in favor of heartless corporations.
That's a nice excuse. Whatever you gotta tell yourself, I suppose. I doubt you even believe it though. At least I hope you're smarter than that.
Wow that's solid condescension. What would probably help though is if you made it more clear that you think you're superior to the other poster. Maybe you could say "don't worry, you'll get there"? Or perhaps "we've all been there, I'm sure you'll be fine when you grow up"?
Wow, this bothered you so much you came back the next day to be condescending and try to claim the moral high ground. Crazy.
