Cart narcs. Its a youtube show where people go around harassing people who don't put back their carts after shopping. They do this for free. And like sure not putting it back is kind of a dick move, but like imagine bootlicking a company enough to go around harassing people that dont follow its made up rules that exist solely to exclude itself from liability.
I donno, my boomer parents kept watching these and I just couldn't get the appeal cause I found myself siding with the people they harassed. I'd wanna beat the person recording me's ass too.

Imagine being such a horrible person that you actually feel good about walking up to a homeless person, calling them lazy and recording it.
Oh that’s bad. It’s one thing to call out Karens for not putting shit away so a worker doesn’t have to walk around in traffic but that shit sucks.
:cringe: yeah it's pretty bad, this guy exudes hall monitor energy.
Imagine spending the very limited time you have on earth monitoring what folks do with fucking shopping carts. And then feeling the need to harass them about it.
Often in our capitalist society civic responsibility and the private property of enterprise interact indirectly. But there are reasons to return the cart that are noble/morally correct other than respecting the property of capitalists. Destroying all the food in a Target would be a great civic disservice to people who rely on the food they receive from Target. You shouldn't cry for Target, though - you should cry for the people.
I think returning your shopping cart is a good thing to do, but don't do it for Target's sake of course
For the people who have to go collect the carts, returning the carts is a big help, the larger business be damned. That was my job many years ago one summer and it was just such a pain in the ass to collect the errant carts. Made my job much worse.
But obviously don’t harass people about it and upload it for clout either. That’s its own depravity.
When I was a stock boy I always enjoyed collecting carts(relatively speaking). Less time in the store dealing with customers or my managers was a plus
Ah, for me it was during a brutal southern summer. It was consistently like 98+ degrees outside and humid. Rather grueling to be out there.
Fuck them but also fuck people who leave those carts in the only path to the grocery that's wheelchair-accessible. I've seen people have to roll through the parking lot where they're below eye-level of a truck because some cunt can't spend 30 seconds pushing a lighter version of the same cart they just pushed for an hour.
Capitalism would charge a dollar for a cart and give you a "25 cent loyal customer store credit cash back service" to get you to buy more of their shit.
Personally, I think capitalism will charge you a quarter to unlock the cart and you get it back when you put the cart back
Carts in the parking lot in the right place is a service to the workers whos brutal hell lives you are making easier (ive been a cart return person for a year and a half in the past), and you also protect yours and others cars, as well as freeing up potential space for handicapped.
Yeah, and most stores are not liable for carts anyway and post notice of such
TIL corporate bootlicking is trying to make minwage workers’ jobs a little less annoying.
edit: anti-homeless rhetoric sucks and I partially take this back.
When in doubt, just remind yourself that most stuff like that is in YouTube because it gets clicks and draws ad revenue. For many people, any degree of long term financial incentive is enough to push them into being douche bags for a day and filming the results.
