Nicky Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Juding people based on their "shopping cart ethics" is ridiculous. My first high school job was as a cart girl, and I never got angry with customers who left their carts by their cars, or in empty parking slots. As long as I was making $7.25 an hour, I didn't care. I don't get angry or care either. But I do have an opinion about it. I tend to have an opinion about pretty much everything. Why is that ridiculous?

Why is that ridiculous? The reason I find it ridiculous is because your evaluation doesn't match the "offense." That whole thing about the punishment matching the crime...

mdegges Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 ^Exactly. Calling people 'assholes' and 'douche bags' over something as unimportant as putting a shopping cart back in its holder doesn't make any sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling people 'assholes' and 'douche bags' over something as unimportant as putting a shopping cart back in its holder doesn't make any sense. I meant that they are being assholes. They could still be nice to their friends and children, but in that situation they're assholes. Edited February 23, 2012 by Nicky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEgoist Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 ALDI makes you put in a quarter to get your cart. You can get it back at the end of your shopping experience. Good system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve D'Ippolito Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 ALDI makes you put in a quarter to get your cart. You can get it back at the end of your shopping experience. Good system. Slightly off topic, but do they also do a better job of maintaining their carts? I just love it when I get one with a flat spot on a wheel (wham wham wham wham wham as I go down the aisle) or a cart with such a strong steer to one side that pushing only on the opposite corner still won't get it to go straight and I have to push on one side and pull on the other. At least in theory, at a place that doesn't make me put in a quarter, I can bring the cart back and get another one when this stuff happens.

Jonathan13 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I imagine at some airports, people make a fair amount of cash returning carts left behind by others in too big a rush. I've seen that at ALDI. Sometimes I see mom's letting their kids earn a little money by fetching carts. I suppose that at some point in the not-too-distant future, ALDI will be punished by the government for abusing children and child-labor laws?
