If you have the option, do you use the cashier or the self checkout line at the grocery store? What about other types if store like hardware stores?

    If I’m not in a rush (and no line) and no cashier is open I always ask the bored (usually elderly) person for help

    Fuck it, they’re bored and I know the machines have cameras that track how much that person is needed. If no one asks them for help, they stop having a job.

      This is kind of the way I look at leaving carts out; everyone has this righteous outlook on putting your cart away as it’s judge of character. Obviously you haven’t worked in retail before; I would jump to oh you need help taking this outside? Or, hey there’s some carts out there can I go get them. Because you know what, standing in a square (register) all day long is like prison.

        I don’t get the logic here. You can still say “hey there’s some carts out there can I go get them” when the carts are neatly in the corral. There’s no advantage to just leaving them wherever.

          Where I shop there’s only two in the center parking and you may as well take it all the way back into the store if you’re not in the main parking area. I mean I’m not saying I don’t put a cart away if the corral is nearby but I mean I’m not going to take 5 minutes to put a cart away. Also those magnetic wheel locks, nothing I can do about that, it’s anchored to where it locks.
