A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Why is this such a thing people are obsessed with? Like there's a billion things wrong with the world at every scale imaginable and your concern is the cart return guy has to walk around an extra 10 ft? There isn't even consensus amongst the people who have to do the cleanup that this is bad. Just move on.

This is mostly an American thing. They/we tend to be more entitled and very selfish. Often making excuses for bad behavior with lines like "I'm keeping people employed". No stupid, you're increasing our groceries because of your selfishness.
Now I live in Taiwan and have visited many countries and found out that this is not the norm. Most people care about the community their live in and oftentimes put back their carts.
Another example of American entitlement. Americans often throw trash on the ground in parking lots because the trash cans are too far away or they can't find one. Again the same excuses, "Keeping these people employed".
In Taiwan(and Japan), if you can't find a trash can, you take your trash home with you. You actually have a hard time finding a bin in public here. But our streets are typically very clean. Because we care about the community and the people here are less selfish.
You absolutely won't have the savings passed onto you if the store fires one of the cart managers. That's the same logic as thinking self checkout makes store prices cheaper. Maybe if every store were locally owned it might work that way, but we're far from that sort of system.
They didn't ask for an example of American broken thinking but you provided it anyway because it's another thing Americans excel at.

Nobody said the savings will trickle down to consumers. But best believe it will INCREASE if enough idiots do stupid things.
And you'll be heavily fined if you don't carry your trash home. Personally I prefer public trash cans, especially when I'm visiting a place hours from home. That way I can enjoy being there rather than carrying soggy trash with me for ten hours. But to each their own.
We are not encouraged to carry our trash home because of "fines". We do it because it's the right thing to do if you can't find a trash bin.
I have carried my trash for hours before I found a bin. It's the norm to do that and we even have methods to carry it more effectively.

Wow downvoted for public trash cans. What a microcosm Lemmy is. Not sure of what.
I countered your downvote with my lone upvote. Thanks for commenting.

I don't take the cart out of the store anymore. I really can't afford that many groceries.
Same, haven't used a cart (besides Costco where I just can't lift any product they have long enough to check out) in years. Well I suppose I haven't been to Costco in years either but x >> y in this description.

There are some of you out there that really can't return the cart. Maybe it's your own mobility issues; maybe it's children, animals, or something else that you can't leave unattended in the vehicle; maybe you just ran out of spoons picking up your medical supplies; whatever reason--I got chu, fam.
When I turn around to return my cart, I always look for stragglers and bring them back. I'm forever alone, but healthy, so getting carts back to their "home" is the least I can do.
"We do what small things we can" gang
Really, really, really small
Better than nothing 🤷♀️
Feeling powerless and useless and shitty and need to do something to make the world a more positive place, no matter how tiny. I cast big squishy trans pride silicone six sided dice and gave them away at a board game convention and the happiness that brought some people is one of the things keeping me alive tbh, more literally than most people would like to know about.

Nobody posted the copypasta yet? I guess it's gotta be me, then.
I watched someone in a Costco parking lot shove his cart onto one of those berms at the end of a row, very obviously about to walk away from it. I was already frustrated, so I walked over and basically yanked it from him, saying something to the effect of "no don't worry I'll get it" in a very "you're part of the problem" tone.
It felt nice, I'm not gonna lie.
Edit: looks like the idiots who this meme is directed at are out in force lol
