This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

We have now this in Migros and Coop:
Place it in the stack at the checkout where you unload it and go. Kinda breaks that test. And a headache less for the clerks.
Pretty sure the original post is written in the context of a typical large US supermarket with outdoors parking lot.
There people often buy more groceries then they can carry so they go with the cart to their cars to unload them. After doing that you're supposed to push the cart back to one of cart sheds located in the parking lot, yet many people just leave it where they unloaded it and drive away.

I uh, avoid taking a cart, because I have a big ass reusable shopping bag. I'm not sure where that leaves me.
Wait, so you’re putting your unpaid items in the bag? I know there’s nothing inherently wrong with that but I’d be worried that someone would stop me or say something so I just hold on to mine until I check out.
Lots of stores prohibit this because they're afraid it might make stealing easier. But not all of them!
They have hand held scanners where I shop, so I do this also.
If I'm doing a small shop I'll take a bag in, fill it up as I go, then everything goes out at the checkout and ends up back in the bag. I've never had anyone care about this and I've been doing it for a few years now (ever since the old plastic bags got banned in my area).

I do the same, and yeah I just put everything in the bag, and I empty it at checkout,I usually don't have that much stuff anyway. Never had an issue with that at the store

BUT! What if the parking lot is four miles long and there are no cart returns anywhere and you're tired because you've been working 20 hour days with no time off and it's 140 degrees outside and the grocery store is exploiting their workers and you haven't eaten in days and you have a disability and the carts are coin operated and this is literally the only way to solve the unemployment crisis? WHAT THEN??
there are no cart returns anywhere
This is on the grocery store.
I also have an emergency that I need to get to NOW!

I take other people's trolleys back on my way because I'm not a piece of shit.

I'll do you one further. It is morally correct to take a cart from the parking lot to use in the store rather than grab one from inside the store.
how do they get out of their cars, they can't open the doors
The first one has the windows open
2nd one's still in there, you can see them (barely) through the tinted window.
