      Where’s that? I’m in Finland and even though people almost always do it, I’ve seen some errant carts

    Pretty sure if you do that here in Germany you will get stomped into the ground by other shoppers.

      I’ve never understood why people don’t put them away. At worst, it’s like 1 minute of your time

        I think that says a lot about Americans because it’s basically unheard of in Europe. And we do have our fair share of selfish assholes here too

          I am not sure about that. In any given grocery store parking lot, in my experience, the vast majority of our carts get returned and we have an enormous asshole population here in America. I wouldn’t say unreturned carts is a huge problem here either

    In Spain you have to use a coin to detach a cart from the others.

    Well, I have a homemade metal thingy than can release the cart without a coin AND I can pull the thing right back out so I don’t even have to leave it in the coin slot.

    When I’m done I still leave the cart in the return area and attach it to the others. I don’t even leave it unattached for the next person, because some pieces of shit already leave carts around the parking lot somehow.

    I’m a petty motherfucker and I wish the worst to those assholes.

      Doesn’t work in America because the largest coin is a quarter (i.e. 25 cents), likely not enough to deter theft (or even laziness).

      So instead, many supermarkets installed a system that locks up the carts’ wheels if they’re taken off the property, which makes them extremely difficult to push. Unfortunately, that also doesn’t help with laziness, so we still need memes like this.
