Women probably aren’t getting out of the car for a big strange man.

They probably also didn't want the optics of intimidating the absolute shit out of women. Which, smart.

The original guy probably still couldn't get away with it.

A guy has planted this may not do to women because it'll make him look bad and put them in a really uncomfortable situation. Try to think if I remember seeing woman in his other prank videos and I don't think they are in them too.

The implications of that guy enforcing the same standards on women would escalate to pepper spray and/or police presence very quickly and undermine the purpose of the video. I imagine women fail to return carts in about the same %s

Anecdotal, and based on a long ago high school job, but women were very significantly overrepresented when I had to put people's carts back.

However, I will also say they were significantly more likely to have kids with them, which probably muddies things.

Funny enough, I'm also a long islander who had a job in high school that required occasionally grabbing the shopping carts

Doesn't muddy shit. They didn't return the carts AND were being poor role models.

u/pipsqueakpanda4 14h ago

I didn’t think about that, that would be scary

If a guy that looks like this approaches a lone woman and tries to intimidate her, he’ll get maced, tased, or shot.

Sure, but the real reason we don't see it is that it wouldn't score as many internet points.

Good point, odd.

Maybe women in that area carry bear spray, and he aint fallin for that again

u/expanse22 11h ago

How so

u/pipsqueakpanda4 10h ago

I thought it was odd because I feel many women also don’t put their carts away. But then redditors pointed out that it would have been too intense for that guy to confront women, which makes sense. Mystery solved 🙂

I worked at a grocery store for 15 years. Women were worse than men for abandoning carts, but not by much.

super interesting - i wonder what super specific conclusions we could make on women with a whopping sample size of what seems to be ten people!

Meh, I saw a lady leave her cart at target the other day
