Ep- 189 You should NOT return the shopping cart "The Shopping Cart Theory"
The Start Down05/02/23 • 14 min
Controversial episode...I don’t put the cart back after food shopping!
For some reason, this is the new hot topic people use on the Internet to highlight how they are great people. Don’t get me wrong, it is a nice thing to do.
I don’t put the cart back for two reasons:
1. When I was a kid, many of my friends worked at Publix. Going outside to get the carts was a great break for them. I worked at Publix for a short time in college and also saw this firsthand. At the Publix I shop at regularly, I see my favorite bagger collecting carts, and he loves it. Why take that away from him?
2. I have young kids, and I will not leave them alone in the car or make them walk back to the store. Anyone with kids knows how challenging it can be to get kids back in the car!
Now, I do other good things that I don’t see these cart-returning heroes do. I hold doors for people and wave when a car stops and lets me cross the street in a parking lot. Does this make anyone of us a better or worse person?
More important than putting a cart back is how you act overall and who you help. I see many people doing great things in our community; some post it on social media and others don’t.
It’s not the thing we do or don’t do once that defines our character but how we act overall that matters. Don’t let the cart heroes fool you! lol
Do you take the back after you put your groceries in the car? This is a safe space! Lol
