A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

As someone who has previously put carts away for a job. No, not only does leaving carts out make it more annoying to pick up it can also damage other people's vehicles, and take up parking spots. Carts roll around or are difficult to see and can get hit. This is the equivalent of saying to just knock stuff off the shelf as you walk through the store, an employee would have to pick that up and it would just cost the company money.
Leaving a shopping cart near your car is the same as deliberately causing damage to products in the store? Very very interesting point of view, if completely unhinged.
You have strong opinions on this topic for there being "a million more urgent matters" or whatever you said in your other comment.
What about what I said was strong? I don't think you know what strong opinions are.
Besides now im just messing with all the dumb fuckers, and I will always make time to mess with people who have weird fetishes they insist on forcing on other people. Like furries.
Just kidding I don't have any personal probs with furries.
I don't think this comment actually responds to my points. I've worked many hourly retail and restaurant jobs myself. In many there was a regular struggle to hit minimum hours per week to qualify for benefits and managers were instructed to cut people during perceived slow times - none of this considering that I sat in an hour traffic to show up for my scheduled 8 hour shift that I need to meet to make my rent.
I was happy when gobacks piled up, shelves needed to be faced, tables needed to be bused and yes, to carts needed to be collected. When that was the case, I typically made my hours in those common, "we're going to need to cut someone" moments.
Again, this entire conversation seems biased to the business owner, the corporation's labor cost, and not the employee. Saying "all the carts are going to hit cars" is a false premise, in my opinion. And what I'm arguing for is the "good trouble" version of this. Place the carts safely away and maybe near the corral, but not in the corral.
