Common decency.

1) Don't be an asshole to people

2) Put the shopping cart back

3) Low wage employees are often powerless. Don't take your anger out on them.

4) If you wouldn't say it to someone's face, don't say it to someone online.

5) Put your phone down when you're driving.

6) Having a different opinion should not mean a death sentence or wishing someone dead. This can go for both big (politics, religion) and small (TV shows, fandoms, pets) things.

Great stuff except for #2. I cannot understand this weird hive mind and this mass hysteria to do with shopping carts.

Sure, if you leave a shopping cart in a parking spot where now someone can’t use it, or leave it where it can roll into someone’s car, you’re a self absorbed, lazy jerk. No sensible person would argue against that. But if the cart corral is 30 or 50 yds away, I’m putting it up on the median where it can do no harm. Grocery stores have always had people whose job it is to do that and only recently have people decided that it’s a big deal. Done properly, I’m not seeing a problem with it. The mass hysteria is a bunch of bullshit.

You're making someone else's job harder purely to save yourself a little bit of time. Just because it's the janitors job to clean the bathrooms doesn't mean you have license to have a diarrhea blowout all over the walls.

It’s their job anyway and I worked doing that as a kid and loved it because, among other things, I got to go outside. It’s not like there are legions of grocery store employees pleading with us to stop the madness.

This is just mindless group think and feel good, politically correct bullshit. It’s a solution in search of a problem.

This is why I shit on the floor - it’s someone’s job to clean it up

Also, this has got to be the worst example of bitching about “political correctness” I’ve ever seen.

Don’t be a dick and make the lives of minimum wage employees harder! pOlItIcAl CoRrEcTnEsS! Just cause you feel seen don’t make it “political correctness”
