You return your cart because it's the right thing to do

I return my cart because it gives me a sense of superiority

We are not the same

I return my cart to get my euro back that I put in to unlock it

[-] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 27 points 2 weeks ago

Mr fancy pants here with full euro coins.

I treasure my red plastic €0.50 coin replica more than my life.

[-] Damage@feddit.it 4 points 2 weeks ago

I put in a 2€ and look down on other shoppers

[-] Instigate@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago

You guys can use €0.50 coins?! Over here in Australia it’s either a $1 or $2 coin. I wish I could chuck a 50¢ piece in the trolley.

50 eurocent coins are actually about the same size as 1 and 2 euro coins, so that's why

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

Why not just 3D print a few more?

[-] Damage@feddit.it 4 points 2 weeks ago

Why 3d print them when the same supermarket gives them out for free?

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

Wait, they do? Why would they do that?

[-] Damage@feddit.it 2 points 2 weeks ago

Eh, 'cause otherwise people will have to exchange money for coins, sometimes people don't have notes to exchange, etc... Seems like retaining the token is incentive enough to return the cart....

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

Why not just ask for another one?

[-] Damage@feddit.it 2 points 2 weeks ago

It's more effort

[-] meliante@lemmy.world -3 points 2 weeks ago

You guys still do that?

[-] conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 weeks ago

I straighten them because they annoy me lol.

[-] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 weeks ago

what I don't get is when there's multiple rows of carts, people often put their cart in the row that is already the longest, instead of putting it in the shortest one to balance it out

[-] Damage@feddit.it 2 points 2 weeks ago

Sheep mentality, another way in which the shopping cart is the mirror of our society

[-] A7thStone@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I knew I wasn't the only one.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

I'll also go fetch a couple on the way if I see some hanging out. It's not because I'm trying to make the cart wrangler's job easier, but because it's not orderly and it bothers me. I have to consciously limit myself or I'd end up patrolling the whole lot.
