I hope Zhongly is civilized enough to return the shopping cart.

Here is why

The shopping cart is the ultimate litmus test for whether a person is capable of serf-governing.

To return the shopping cart is an easy, convenient task and one which we alll recognize as the correct, appropriate thing to do. The return of the shopping cart is objectively right. There are no situations other than dire emergencies in which a person is not able to return their cart. Simultaneously, it is not illegal to abandon your shopping cart. Therefore the shopping cart present itself as the apex example of whether a person will do what is right without being forced to do it. No one will punish you for not retunrning the shopping cart, no one will fine you or kill you for not returning the shopping cart, you gain nothing by returning the shopping cart. You must return the shopping cart out of the goodness of your heart. You must return the shopping cart because it is the right thing to do. Because it is correct.

A person who is unable to do this is no better than an animal, an absolute savage who can only be made to do what is right by threatening them with a law and the force that stands behind it.

The shopping cart is what determines whether a person is a good or bad member of society.

As I had read that was one of the things that the grocery chain Aldi tried to resolve by requiring a quarter to check out a shopping cart. People were more likely to return the cart to get the quarter back than they were to dump the cart where ever they were after using it. This reduced staff cost, because now they didn't need additional stuff specifically just to support retrieving carts from all over.

It is quite depressing though seeing people dump their shopping carts near where they parked despite having a cart drop off right next to where they've parked, but that's just common sadly.
