I still don't really understand the obsession by people who spend all their time on the internet with whether the cart return kid had to return their personal cart along with the 200 other carts.
Maybe because in many other countries this just isn't an issue and everyone returns their cart. Even when they don't have a deposit (though most do)
Seems unlikely: if the non-return behavior isn't a thing in other countries why would they have a lively internet vendetta, mostly in English, against anyone who has committed the eternally-punishable crime of leaving their cart to the cart guy (who doesn't exist in those countries). Just seems pretty implausible.
Look at it from this angle:
The carts are personal property. When you don't return them, that's theft. When you don't return them properly, that's miscoduct.
Americans have been doing this for an eternity, so they just hired a cart guy and called it a day. You can't put the entire country in the courts. It's culture at that point.
Englishpeople didn't and so it became reasonable to just make it a law for the few idiots who think they can do what they want. No cart guy required. This is how most laws are made. Traffic laws were once a good example.
I can't find anything on the claim england has laws for this. Link?
The carts are not leaving the property of the store, which includes the lot, so that argument unfortunately also doesn't fly. I'm not familiar with any stores big enough to have carts but which don't have their own lots (or are the majority owner of the lot).
That was news to me as well, I just accepted that you as a possible englishperson knew that and that's what you meant by it being punishable.
When losers sucked so much and managed to even get rejected from being a cop, but they still wanna play cop. They wanna feel the power but can't even do the bare minimal 3 week training.
putting them in the corral, as illustrated in the comic is one thing.... leaving them scattered in random spaces is another
Found the asshole who doesn’t return their cart.
Why would I need to use a cart? I'm not a cuck.
I just find this cuck obsession with policing behavior that objectively doesn't matter at all and those same cucks assigning moral value to that behavior is...well, it feels like this is how we got HOAs (traditionally the biggest bunch of cucks to ever cuck).
Cuck a poodle dude!
