Putting shopping carts away is bad for society and you should stop doing it.
The reason is that putting a shopping cart away requires labor, labor requires a person to do it, and the person who has to do it is employed by the grocery store.
Thus, if enough people refuse to put their shopping carts back, enough excess labor will be generated at grocery stores around the country that they will be forced to hire more people to do it, creating jobs.
QED
Counterpoint: They won't hire more people and will just increase workload on existing employees
Actually sweaty grocery stores are incentivized by the market to provide the best customer service and over time the ones that hire enough employees will win out over the ones that overwork all of their employees.
:100-com: oh yeah for sure that's why all of the checkout counters are closed and now I have to do it myself while the world's most annoying voice tells me to "please place the item in the bag"
This is also why you should grab and distribute random objects while shopping at the grocery store. A bottle of canola oil by the diapers isn't rude busywork-making assholery, it's praxis so good you'll need to rush out of the store as soon as you're done so as to avoid a deluge of grateful employees' kisses.
When I worked at a supermarket one of my duties was collecting shopping carts from the parking lot and moving them to the front of the store. It was the best part of the job because I didn’t have to deal with customers and I had an excuse for not hearing the telecom if someone needed me to do a price check or whatever. So yeah, not putting your cart back is good and praxis
