    You return your cart because it’s the right thing to do

    I return my cart because it gives me a sense of superiority

    We are not the same

      I return my cart to get my euro back that I put in to unlock it

        Mr fancy pants here with full euro coins.

        I treasure my red plastic €0.50 coin replica more than my life.

          You guys can use €0.50 coins?! Over here in Australia it’s either a $1 or $2 coin. I wish I could chuck a 50¢ piece in the trolley.

          Why not just 3D print a few more?

            Why 3d print them when the same supermarket gives them out for free?

                Eh, 'cause otherwise people will have to exchange money for coins, sometimes people don’t have notes to exchange, etc… Seems like retaining the token is incentive enough to return the cart…

          Sheep mentality, another way in which the shopping cart is the mirror of our society

          I’ll also go fetch a couple on the way if I see some hanging out. It’s not because I’m trying to make the cart wrangler’s job easier, but because it’s not orderly and it bothers me. I have to consciously limit myself or I’d end up patrolling the whole lot.
