    I still don’t really understand the obsession by people who spend all their time on the internet with whether the cart return kid had to return their personal cart along with the 200 other carts.

      Maybe because in many other countries this just isn’t an issue and everyone returns their cart. Even when they don’t have a deposit (though most do)

        Seems unlikely: if the non-return behavior isn’t a thing in other countries why would they have a lively internet vendetta, mostly in English, against anyone who has committed the eternally-punishable crime of leaving their cart to the cart guy (who doesn’t exist in those countries). Just seems pretty implausible.

          Look at it from this angle:
          The carts are personal property. When you don’t return them, that’s theft. When you don’t return them properly, that’s miscoduct.

          Americans have been doing this for an eternity, so they just hired a cart guy and called it a day. You can’t put the entire country in the courts. It’s culture at that point.

          Englishpeople didn’t and so it became reasonable to just make it a law for the few idiots who think they can do what they want. No cart guy required. This is how most laws are made. Traffic laws were once a good example.
