I'd outlaw sauce bottles which make getting it all out harder, especially the ones which don't have the opening at the bottom and make it impossible to put the bottle with the opening facing downwards.

People just dumping their shopping trolley on the nearest bit of pavement to where they parked their car. Put it back you lazy fucks.

Cart narcs assemble!

Back when I was a teen my first job was at a grocery store. One of the best parts of that job was getting away from all the chaos and collecting carts. Just my 2 cents.

Ah, see, there's always another angle to be considered :-)

In Hungary you put a coin the cart that you get back when you take it back

[โ€“] sanguinepar 1 points 1 year ago

We used to do that, but it seems to have gone away again, at least at supermarkets near me.

We do this in Australia too, and it only helps a little bit. Lazy and inconsiderate people will still be lazy and inconsiderate.

You don't get people taking the carts back to claim the money?

In NZ I've never seen it. And I'm glad. My kids love taking all the stray trolleys back, it takes so long to get them back into the car. I can't imagine how bad it would be if my kids were being paid to take longer to get in the car.
