i used to work retail, what annoyed me more than the cart stuff was when people just left refrigerated items they didnt want anymore on shelves. is it rly that hard to walk a couple extra seconds to put it back? just spoils food, attracts bugs
You misunderstand. I didn’t mean, “it’s fine to put random crap you find misplaced around the store back in the fridge”. I meant it’s fine for the people who put it on the shelf to instead put it back in the correct refrigerated/frozen section.
OFC you shouldn’t put now unthawed crap back in the freezer or now warm things back in the fridge unless you know it hasn’t been out long… That should be common knowledge. I assumed noone would be dumb enough to take that interpretation, but here we are…
It doesn’t create any new jobs. It just creates a task the already employed people at the store need to deal with. Walmart claims they have dedicsted cart wranglers, but every store I have worked at just made CAP go out and do it during lulls in other tasks.
At one of the bigger groceries I’ve been to, the wheels would lock up if you got too far from the store. Well, we’d parked outside that range so the wheels locked up and I had to awkwardly drag the full cart to the car.
Being a good person, I went to drag it back to the return spot. The wheels did not unlock. Dragged it all the way back anyway.
But given this, I can see why someone might just abandon their cart if the wheels are locked.
Put the grocery cart back
It always baffles me that this seems to be hard for many people

edit: spelling
and legally, it cannot be put back it has to be thrown out.
Retail, not restaurant. Think groceries. It’s packaged. It’s fine to put back if it’s still sealed.
Not if it’s been left on an unrefrigerated shelf for an unknown amount of time.
I think this might be locally decided. When I worked retail we always put the food back and pretended nothing was wrong

My Dad tried to argue “it creates jobs”.
He really didn’t want to accept that trolley pushers aren’t given more time to fetch the carts.
All it does is make the job harder.
