How to Identify Human Garbage
Hint: The parking lot at your local grocery store is all you need to know...
There are plenty of indexes of douchebags in the wild. But the one that really is a strong indicator is whether you return your cart to the collection corral in the parking lot.
Hell, on my old personal blog I posted on this shit way back in 2015…
And what I wrote there is still true.
Yet I continue to see tons of shopping carts left willy-nilly all over the parking lot. One time when I wrote about this when I lived in Arizona I got a ton of comments, mainly things like “it is hot out” or “my kids are in the car and I can’t leave them”
Seriously, nowhere I have ever lived has the return of a cart to the corral has never taken more than about 30 seconds.
No, I think all the excuses are lame and really inappropriate.
Look, I get it, it is not a highlight of my day. But realize that if you are just going to hump the cart to the nearest curb rather than walking it to the collection area, then you are human garbage. YOu have shit for feet, and you should feel bad.
This can all be avoided by just returning the cart.
Yes! Do this and be civilized. And don’t leave trash in the cart either!
Aldi’s has it right. It’s a quarter to unlock the cart. Then you get it back when you return the cart to the line of them. Yes, I know it’s only 2 bits, but it seems to work. No one needed to shlep carts either.
