Nobody posted the copypasta yet? I guess it's gotta be me, then.
I watched someone in a Costco parking lot shove his cart onto one of those berms at the end of a row, very obviously about to walk away from it. I was already frustrated, so I walked over and basically yanked it from him, saying something to the effect of "no don't worry I'll get it" in a very "you're part of the problem" tone.
It felt nice, I'm not gonna lie.
Edit: looks like the idiots who this meme is directed at are out in force lol
My local Costco recently removed the coin locks. Almost immediately, trolleys were fucking everywhere except in the bay.
The coin locks never bothered me because I have a pick for them on my keys. And yes, I return the damn trolley every time.
Well done.
Yes, smug self satisfaction at the expense of others feels nice. You do you bro.
Sounds like the other guy didn't have to do Costco's job, and you got to feel smug and superior without any real reason. Win win win
We got a live one
A live one what? I don't use shopping carts because I'm not a cuck.
What does one's kinks have to do with their shopping practices?
Our guy installed wheels on his arms and legs in order to get the fully uncucked shopping experience, likely because he's just built different.
You're really weird
I'm cool with that, but you still did mention leaving a shopping cart in a parking lot which somehow makes you not a cuck. Bare minimum it's an asshole move
Correction, you didn't say that, but your comment absolutely leads me to believe you do "because it's not my job"
Ohh I see, you don't know how to read. This makes way more sense. Try again.
I am deeply amused that your reading comprehension was so wrong a random stranger downvoted you in my defense. ❤️ To whoever that was.
This is getting tiring, take care
What dont ones kinks have to do with shopping?
What a wild sentiment haha. Guy's so insecure that he thinks using a SHOPPING CART will make him less manly.
Why is being a cuck anything to do with manliness?
Ohhhhh so you literally mean that people who use shopping carts are in relationships where their SO is having sex with someone else behind their backs?
Right. Of course that's what you meant. Well obviously that would be a MUCH more normal thing to believe.
Wat?
Maybe don't be an asshole by lodging it on a berm behind another car and just walk the extra 20 feet to put your fucking cart in the corral.
Oh I didn't do that. You're confusing me with the person you met in the Costco parking lot. But I am not them!
Do you throw trash on the ground because it's the custodian's job to pick it up?
Can you explain why you believe this analogy is valid? I don't think you can, but I'd absolutely love to see you try.
Just because it's someone's job to tidy up doesn't make it okay to be messy.
And why do you see deliberately throwing trash on the ground as being analogous to leaving the cart near where it was needed, and will be needed again?
Because throwing trash next to a trash can is still littering.
Came to the comments just to look for this.
Smug virtue signaling anyone?
Found the animal.
Of all the things to get your panties in a twist about. Oh, world’s on fire, I’m going to make cart etiquette a big thing.
Exactly, the world is on fire and www are verging ww3. People that can't do the bare minimum can't be trusted in current times.
Yeah, etiquette is important. I'll tell you off for queue jumping too, if you like. Did your parents not teach you to pick up after yourself? Do you need to be sent back to kindergarten?
We’re all on the same side here — on Lemmy and the Fediverse.
This is something I care about.
I want people to abandon corporate social media and I want them to support and use Federared options run by cool people.
That’s you.
That you spend your time worrying about carts is not really relevant to what connects us.
I just want to let you know that I can be courteous and professional and interested and interesting and still believe that carts are not a big deal.
The topic of this post, on the memes community, is shopping carts. I think it is an okay place to share our opinions about lazy people.
My choice not to return those is a political decision to make corporations pay for their privilege.
They just pass the cost back to us, genius. You're lazy for not returning the cart and lazy in your justification.
If you don’t like the prices don’t shop there. You might try Virtue Signalers: the grocery story for people with self esteem so low they need to attack strangers on the internet. Virtue Signalers: behold my contributions! I am worthy. My daddy was wrong in withholding his love. Virtue Signalers: I’m better than you, so fuck off.
