The lowly shopping cart is the only appliance that can absorb my gathered rage as I launch it full speed into its brethren
I ride the cart to the corral, stepping off at the last minute such that I stop while the cart reaches warp 1 and makes the loudest noise possible.
I’m 40.
Golden corral
Disagree with these, except maybe LG, LE, NE, and CE.
Neutral good: Given directly to the next customer.
Chaotic good: Given to the poor.
Lawful neutral: Returned to a corral.
True neutral: Given to a staff member.
Chaotic neutral: Returned to another store.Im a “brought my own bag, and then put stuff in it at the store, unloaded it to scan and put it back into the bag after checkout” :3
Where I live, I scan the items with my phone and put them straight into my own bag, then at the self-checkout I just scan the QR and pay through the app.
Dam I’d need a Bag of Holding
Don’t have to carry the bag around if you use the cart. Less effort
As far as I know none of the stores in my town even have shopping carts tbf. I’d have to go shop in the city if I wanted to use one hah
Chaotic Good baby, love when the parking lot around the corral is vacant so I can go for distance without risking hitting anyone.
Lawful good and neutral good are the ONLY acceptable anwers
Chaotic good is fine if you don’t launch it too hard. It’s enjoyable to put barely enough force in so that it just slides into the cart in front of it.
It’s like bowling.
Just don’t launch it from far away, otherwise it could veer into someone’s car. Which would be caught on camera, incidentally.
But you’d still have to go up to the trolley to get your pound back.
…or veer into a person, which happened to me (yes I was struck by a runaway cart, no I’m not proud of that). I was not seriously injured.
In my defense, I was distracted- and that cart was running on silent mode or something.
The mystical cart without a janky wheel, the prophecies have foretold of this one.
Chaotic Good. Though more often I’m a “ride-it-into-the-corral” guy.
I’m “got the coin back that I put in the cart when I got it”.
Yeah, this is a rather US-specific meme…
Spent the past couple weeks in France visiting my wife’s family, and was surprised that most of the stores had the coin locks but were not using them, as in they had all been disconnected so you didn’t need to use a coin to release them. I think the only store we needed coins at was E.Leclerc.
Interesting. Presumably, enough of their customers now show up without the appropriate coins, due to electronic payment methods being available otherwise, that they decided to not require coins.
Here in Germany, where we hold onto cash a bit more dearly due to our Stasi-past, I don’t know any shop where I can take a shopping cart without sticking a coin in…
Yeah there’s a few in Canada too that still use the coin. They usually will give you a coin to use if you go to customer service and ask. Most places just gave up though and abandoned that system. I wonder if it was costing them more to try to maintain or something. I’d imagine that people who have a cart tend to buy more, whereas if they’re forced to use baskets because they don’t have a coin, they might not buy as much. I know that’s the case for me at least.
I mean, I said “coin” but really I didn’t even mean “coin” as in “currency” but “coin-shaped piece of plastic that I have for this purpose”. The system has been in use here for decades now and I’d imagine that people using currency for carts are the exception. We all have the plastic substitute coins on our keychains. Was there a lot of pushback against the “coin operated” carts in Canada that nobody bothered with distributing replacement chips?
A local shop here only has shopping carts, no baskets. You can get smaller shopping carts, and in fact even shopping carts for toddlers to push around, but you still need a coin for those.
And yep, I’ve genuinely been stood in front of that shop and went back home, because I didn’t have an appropriate coin. I think, even twice already.
I could have bought a small item to have them hand me out coins and then done another loop with the shopping cart, but yeah, there was just no way, I’d waste that much time.
In the US. I know exactly one store with the coin system. I love Aldi.
True neutral implies you took it from the homeless and are giving it back to them.
The true neutral taketh, and giveth back
This is one template I’m down to bring back
Some of the returns sound like you took it from there in the first place. Return to the poor? Did you take it from them? Return to a culvert? Did you find it in a ditch and then take it shopping??
What alignment are you if you just take it home?
For the record: I am chaotic good. I can accurately hit the inside of the corral from up to 150 feet away. 😤
True neutral
Returned to the poor
I used to do it with my car. Late at night, after store is closed, go to local supermarket, find unreturned trolleys, square them up with my car, line myself up, and push them along the car park like I was competing in some urban form of Curling.
So Neutral Evil just means lazy bitch-ass trash?
Wherw would “Cable tied it to the doorhandle of a car parked like an asshole.” Sit?
