Making a note since this video is picking up traffic for some weird reason: Just to be EXTRA EXTRA clear (since I realized that the ending of the video is relatively unclear). I am not saying it's right to leave shopping carts in the middle of parking spaces/parking lot. I am just pointing out that problems like these can have multiple contributing factors. As a society, we already know people will irrationally misbehave but society is also responsible for supporting structures and behaviors that can indirectly cause situations for people to misbehave in. Or in context of the video, people that don't return their shopping carts suck. But they only suck because they're put into a situation in which they can suck. For example, if there were more local grocers, less people would need to drive to buy food and more people could visit grocery shops more frequently which leads to smaller parking lots, easier cart returns and less shopping cart usage. Obviously we can't expect society to pivot and fundamentally change everything just to solve a shopping cart problem; that isn't the point I'm trying to make. I'm just pointing out that certain problems exist because of much bigger problems (or not problems because I'm sure some people don't mind suburbia). (Also, additional point in the description)
I wonder if there's a correlation between the kinds of people who'd return their shopping carts to the designated return area and the kinds of people who actively consider the underlying societal issues that make the shopping cart issue exist in the first place.
It's funny that you bring this up because I was going to try to come up with a clever comment but then I realized that, for a lot of people, pushing a shopping cart the extra couple of steps to the return area would probably coincide with their daily recommended exercise and would take up no additional time (assuming they set away time dedicated to their exercise and don't work 40-hour weeks at a physically demanding job). And if you think about it, there might be a correlation between people not returning their carts (lazy/not wanting to do extra work) and people that don't routinely exercise (lazy/not wanting to do extra work).
Funny that you mention it now because like 1/3rd of the views on the video came from today alone (the video has been out for a couple of months already). As for why it has so few views, I'm guessing it has to do with my infrequent upload schedule, lazy thumbnails/titles, and the fact that it's a few steps away from the types of videos I normally upload.
is true imo the system should design better.......... but the simple fact that you crave reward is basically the whole point of the problem. Is about self-discipline if you look it in the system way than you are basically lawyer solving problem which we all know they are defiantly good people~
Sorry, should have specified. I never said this applied to me. I don't drive, so I don't go to the parking lot, so I always return carts at the front of the store if I use them. I just thought it was interesting to look at the problem from an "objective" standpoint, where good/wrong doesn't apply because those things are derived from human emotions and feelings.

Yeah but you're wrong.
I wonder if there's a correlation between the kinds of people who'd return their shopping carts to the designated return area and the kinds of people who actively consider the underlying societal issues that make the shopping cart issue exist in the first place.

I feel like if someone is thinking this much about it they have already failed the test
the idea for this video is incredible, why does it have so few views
