    Where I live, you have to put a coin into the shopping carts and you only get it back when you return it. Is this not a thing in, uh, Portugal? Brazil? Wherever the comic author lives…?

          I don’t care about the quarter, but in a different way. If I see someone getting out of their car, I say “You need a cart?”

          Shit, I’d rather give it to them, than walk across the parking lot. Now if I don’t see anyone, THEN I’ll take it back. But I’d rather just give the cart to someone who needs it anyways. Screw the quarter! Oh no! I’m missing out on…30 seconds of earned income!!!
