I worked in a grocery store when I was a teenager. I didn't give a shit about people not returning their carts. It's my job, it's not like I'd rather face shelves than walk over to get a cart. Plus they'd usually send us out in pairs so we'd take advantage and shoot the shit while doing it, was a nice break.
Edit: I will downvote you because your personal experience and opinion go against my feelgood circle jerk.
Abandoned carts occupy parking spots and can ram into cars and people. The issue isn't that it creates more work for employees
If the carts are taking up space, the store needs to hire more people to go get carts. I loved my cart fetching time when I worked at a grocery store.
But they said "circle jerk", which automatically makes everyone else wrong. I'm sorry.
I used to work as a life guard when I was younger. I didn't give a shit about kids running around the pool. It's my job to give them bandages when they scrape their knee. It's not like I'd rather be looking at the pool. Plus there would usually be a hot sibling or mother so I'd take advantage and shoot my shot while doing it, it was a nice break.
Comparing a lifeguard to stocking shelves at a grocery store, that's a fucking reach lmao.
Hey I did my job with great praise
I'm just saying it's the same premise. Yeah mine is more extreme, but that was the point. I could have picked a more fun and less serious job I've had, but I picked that one to show how dramatic it can be.
I’m with you dude. Only people who care about carts are self important people. I used to love walk the parking lot for 15-30 mins hunting carts. Best part of the job tbh.
