Yarp, that agrees with everything I said and what most people do.

Yeah but like I said elsewhere in this thread I have been to grocery stores (5 Krogers a Publix, and a Food Lion) 80 times in the past couple weeks working instacart at nights to pay off some bills I didn’t want to pile up. No carts have been seen by me moving around, everyone puts them in the cart returns that take up many of the parking spaces. Seems like a lot of made up concern. Not to mention the force it would take to dent/scratch a car by a cart. I’ve watched multiple cops over the years push cars when they have broken down in the road, the paint/bumbers are a lot more sturdy than many think. Aftermarket paint jobs might be an issue if they are cheap paint if you are pushing the car, but a shopping cart would need to be going fast to do anything real.

Littering has environmental impact, and looks bad. Carts being put back by the company or the customer doesn’t hurt the environment. If it looks bad the company creates a job to ensure the customer keeps coming.

Ive been to ~7 grocery stores ~80 times in the past couple weeks. Was driving instacart at night to get some bills paid I was worried about. Not once did I come across carts that were just in the parking spots/street, they always are in the cart holders that take up parking spots. I standardly pull my cart from one of those and wheel it into the store which leaves it at a net 0 move when I put it back… That said, with the number of people who are hunting for jobs right now that I know, this may be the first time I would say the store hiring someone to return carts is another employed person. Kroger really isn’t going to go bankrupt supporting the local populace with 1 extra job. Publix on the other hand has employees actively asking to take my cart before I can close the trunk. Had been pretty impressed by it. One day I went to 4 different Krogers, it is a bit interesting to see the difference in the stores based upon the people/house cost that live in the areas.

Nice, never used Symbian before, did you like it?

Are you sure it wasnt another app? What I see is that it launched with the first iPhone. (Was a website previous to print directions like MapQuest and what not)

Yeah it was a website like MapQuest, just a bit better.

Google maps didn’t exist prior to the iPhone/android period as well, so people with blackberrys didn’t have access to that before Android/iphone 07-08

Yarp, been fucking every working class person in America for years. Yayyyy
