    Carts go in the store, placing them in a cart return does nothing because an employee still had to go fetch them. If you actually cared you would walk the cart back into the store.

      It’s okay. The store is happy to provide that service. The social contract part is about protecting everyone’s cars from rogue wind-sped carts

        Yea I don’t care about cars, besides scuffed paint is just superficial it doesn’t affect the cars ability to provide transportation

          Replace car with anything you own and ask yourself if you would like strangers to treat your belongings that way.

              The car’s paint job is a status symbol. It represents a person’s having maintained control of their own shit for sufficient time to afford a shiny car. It’s artistic expression too, like clothing.

      They are in a big stack that can be moved all at once. If there’s a free roaming cart blowing around the parking lot an employee would probably have to go get it individually so it doesn’t attack the cars.
