Is it common courtesy to stack your shopping cart back with the other carts? (lazysoci.al)

I don't mean just returning your shopping cart to the cart area, but actually sliding it back in. At my grocery store, some people half ass stack it back in or don't at all. This drives me nuts because when I come to return my cart I have to fix the mess before I can return mine. Plus, I don't want the workers who collect the carts to do any more work than they already do.

I caught this one guy who was returning his cart and I had to wait until he was done. Instead of stacking his cart, he just left it there in front of the stack and I said, "C'mon man!" He was surprised and said, "Oh!" then immediately stacked his cart.

This is one of those starter date vetting things, like whether your date treats restaurant and bar staff well, and tips (when culturally appropriate).

Is it illegal to not stack your cart neatly? No. Do I want to date someone who puts minimal effort in and pushes simple tasks they deem beneath them onto low-wage workers? Also no.

What would you say if your date said "I don't think people should return carts, I think they should use them to block the road into the carpark to annoy the car drivers. But I don't use a cart anymore, I bought myself a hand trolley I can take home with me on the bus."
