I firmly believe in the validity of the Shopping Cart Test. On a related and depressing note, my little city is overrun with errant shopping carts.

I used to work at a supermarket and preferred returning carts to other tasks, and got paid hourly. When someone returns the cart, they're doing that hourly work for the store owner for free. Since time is rival, you could be more effective with your altruism than helping store owners.
You're depressed because there's so much homelessness, right?

I push products to the shop floor because some people prefer stacking the shelves to their other work. I'm an altruistic job creator. You're welcome

Isn't that just the parable of the broken window? Somebody ultimately needs to clean the dishes and return the cart - they're not wasted time.

I'm even more altruistic than the lazy shits not wanting to put the cart back since I don't just not do something, I'm actively doing it to benefit their day.

It's not benefiting or harming them either way. Their day is spent and their odds of getting paid are the same.

I'm creating more work for them, if everyone just trashed the stores they'd go in we'd have more people working at the stores. I'm a job creator

You're boosting the GDP!

I have a clip from my dashcam floating around somewhere of me stopping, jumping out of my car, then hauling ass to catch someone's runaway cart moments before it hit a parked car. Honestly one of my proudest moments.

On the opposite end, I once left a cart (on a curb) and it haunted me. To be fair, it was absolutely storming outside and I was chilled to the bone and just wanted to warm up..
