This was being covered on another forum. Thought it was interesting.

If you think about it, society has all kinds of litmus tests like this. What do y'all think about it?

another test is whether or not you're willing to outright lie, hide or at least shade the truth for money...

It's a pretty good test. At the Aldi near me, many people even leave the quarter they paid to get the cart in the cart, when they return it to the rows of carts outside the doors. Often there is 5 to 8 carts that were returned, with the quarter still in them. I do the same. Blacks and Hispanics are rare in my county, but twice I've seen black people and once I've seen a Hispanic person, plugging all the carts together and taking all the quarters. I've never seen a white person doing that.

We had a lot of little honor stands with garden produce, eggs, jams, jellies and honey in my area. Many are gone now. One of the owners told me they stopped because Hispanic people were coming and taking everything without paying. They put cameras up and turned the footage over to the Sheriff's department but nothing ever happened about it.

Had a few back surgeries and I was greatful for the "slobs" that didn't return the carts. I would park right next to it and use it instead of hobbling across the lot for one.
I always return it now that I'm healthy. And I vote.

There's always 2 sides to a story.

Are some people societies slobs? Yes indeed. But one of those carts could have been left by your 92 year old grandmother who was too weak and feeble to bring it back. If I see that type of situation I get the cart for them.

But I do understand your shopping cart analogy. Guess I just wanted to play the devils advocate

I see them things in the strangest places, way out in the woods where you wouldn't think anyone has been in years, and here is a plastic flosser laying on the ground. What, are you hiking along and think, "you know what I should do? I should floss my teeth! Haven't done it in hours!"
