    I want others to return their carts so I expect the same from myself. Unironically, we live in a society, so that means cooperation for things to run smoothly

      This is Contractualism. If anyone wants to learn more about this moral philosophy, you can read Scanlon’s What We Owe to Each Other, or for a better time, watch The Good Place.

        The Good Place taught me that the solution to this problem is to let the cart run loose and kill the guy pulling the level.

        More generally, this is the philosophy of deontology, or the study of duty/obligations if anyone is interested in seeing the whole eco system

        The cart corral things were invented in my lifetime, before that we were expected to walk that shit all the way back into the store.

        And don’t forget all the jobs you make at the auto body shops fixing damage from carts! And all the jobs at the shopping cart factories from having to replace broken carts!
