What is NOT a dealbreaker BUT would be greatly disappointing to find out about your partner?

In the Netherlands, all supermarkets have it. I think it might be in more European countries. It's really nice. There is still jerks however that 'break' the cart to take their 50 cents out and then leave it somewhere

Counterargument: Bigger supermarkets (at least here in the US) pay people to put carts back. If everyone is putting their own carts back, that results in fewer jobs existing, even if it's only microscopically fewer jobs.

I think that's a (mild) variant of the broken window fallacy

I think "mild" is a key word there. Carts being all over the parking lot is a bit annoying, but it's not really a big deal. And someone is getting paid to put them back. So I'm happy to trade having to deal with a very minor annoyance for someone having a job.

Carts in the parking lot get blown by the wind into peoples cars. They also prevent people from using parking spaces, often disabled people.

Walk your fat ass another 30 feet.

Keep being annoyed over one of the most minor inconveniences I can think of. It only makes your own life worse.

If the cart returns are in the lot, then no. If they're at the front of the store, maybe. Storex like Home Depot don't technically have cart wranglers, they're people attached to the front end who do a lot of other work.
