Why is this shopping cart meme so prevalent all of a sudden? I've seen like five unique memes about it in the last few days, not just reposts but three completely unique memes
Why is this particular meme everywhere this week?

I go to Buehlers where my stuff gets conveyor belted outside and they put it in my car for me. I need not return the cart because it does not leave!

Capitalist has entered the chat.
Again american with their "blame the customer instead of pushing bussinus to hire people full time"
Should the stores have valet service patrolling the parking lot for your cart? Or should I just make sure to leave my cart parked uphill from your car?
Or maybe I should just make sure that there’s an empty cart inside every empty parking spot. That sounds like a fun sunny-day community anarchy event.
The best thing of the corrals is, when used properly, empty spots are actually empty and you don’t have to worry about stray carts slamming into your parked car. Unfortunately, they are rarely used properly.
Making work easier for the dude who has to go out to collect them is just gravy.
But there’s a segment of the American population that doesn’t want to do what’s best for ”nearly everyone, eventually”…they want to do what’s best for “me, now”. Even if most people (themselves included) doing the former automatically results in the latter. Basically prisoners dilemma. Same reason we still have Covid, same reason we can’t have public healthcare, and same reason a few kids collect lead at school every now and then.

As someone typically critical of Abrahamic religions, this is the strong argument for why we need those religions :3
I mostly shop at a place where you can safely leave the carts on a covered sidewalk outside of the store. Get fucked moral absolutists

What if, hear me out, you return it where you found it? But, but, I found it in the back of the parking lot next to where I parked.
Neutral good?
If there was a law punishing people for not putting shopping carts back, I would deliberately break it and sue whatever stupid fucking government passed such a thing under the grounds listed in the post.
A law like that would be a violation of our rights. You can't just use government to force people to do whatever you want. We have rights.
Same logic can apply to throwing your trash around. Which does get fined.
