    You absolutely won’t have the savings passed onto you if the store fires one of the cart managers. That’s the same logic as thinking self checkout makes store prices cheaper. Maybe if every store were locally owned it might work that way, but we’re far from that sort of system.

      Nobody said the savings will trickle down to consumers. But best believe it will INCREASE if enough idiots do stupid things.

      They didn’t ask for an example of American broken thinking but you provided it anyway because it’s another thing Americans excel at.

        I return the carts and I don’t litter, but lets not lie about the effects of cart returning on socioeconomic outcomes. That’s bullshit and you know it.
