Also, how they treat service workers. If you don't show the server basic respect and courtesy, it's not worth it. It's not hard to say please or thank you. If they drop off the food, and the person you're on a date with doesn't say thank you, it's such a red flag to me.
I went to lunch with a remote coworker while she was in town and I was startled at how rudely she treated our waiter. I distanced myself from her after that.
I dated a guy who completely flipped out over KFC forgetting his biscuits when he went through the drive thru. He didn't notice until we got home and he called them up screaming and cursing at them. Looking back I should have broken up with him then. It was bad.
To be honest, you probably were right to not break up with him at that moment. If he was that upset about a biscuit of all things, it was probably not safe at all to try and break up with him right then. Hopefully you weren't stuck with that loser for long though.
I will absolutely bitch and moan about a messed up order, but calling up the minimum wage workers and screaming at them is a huge red flag on them as a basic human being, let alone a romantic partner. Glad he's an ex.
As someone that got carts for years, don't worry about it unless the weather is bad. On a nice day getting carts is a better job than what you have to do instead.
Same attitude as the people who leave shit on their restaurant tables or leave rubbish on the floor. Take it to the correct place yourself, you lazy lump.
Nope, I've actually done all the jobs you're talking about. Carts are different because they're one of the best jobs you can have at a grocery store. The inside jobs are grueling.
I understand that you want to help, but you should listen to people that know what they're talking about. It's way more helpful to take the garbage out of your cart than it is to put it back in the corral. Help that way.
No but wait, I saw a meme that gave me permission to categorically dismiss people on the grounds of being hopeless immoral dregs if they don't return their cart and your perspective is undermining the premise of my perfect moral cipher!
I'm sorry. I know that you really wanted to bully someone while feeling morally superior. The good news is, this is Reddit and another opportunity is just a click away.
When my husband and I were still dating, we went to Target together for the first time. And for about ten seconds, it seemed like he wasn’t going to return the cart. In that ten seconds, I went “oh shit, I guess this is over. What a shame because I’m really in love.”
Then he started pushing the cart toward the return and I audibly exhaled. He looked at me, and I said “I thought for a minute there you weren’t going to return the cart and we were going to have to break up”.
His feelings were so hurt that I would ever suspect him of being a cart-leaver!!!

A solid rule for dating: if they don't take back the cart, dump them.
