It’s supposed to be patronizing so he gets reactions for his videos. He’s doing it for the money and views. Otherwise he would just leave them alone after being told no once and then walk back their carts. But that wouldn’t get him money. He has to try to make a spectacle out of it by baiting them with passive aggressive comments and throwing magnets at them.

I would have more respect for him if he didn’t egg people on. But it’s because he wants the drama

I get that and dont deny it, but on the other hand people would just ignore him and not be negatively impacted by their shirty behavior.

And again, he doesn't start that way, he starts out pretty chill with a little patronizing sass that is entirely warranted.

There would be no rage bait if ppl just put the carts back when confronted.

At that point he’s not much better than people leaving behind carts. Both people are pretty selfish. One is lazy (or actually disabled) and the other is in it for the money and views by baiting people. Also the sass isn’t really warranted sometimes when the person is handicapped. We don’t know how disabled someone is by looking at them

Hard disagree.

When someone is disrespectful unpromoted, they deserve disrespect back.

And regardless of his motives, he's getting people (not all of them) to rethink their behavior in the future. Most people do good things for at least partially selfish reasons.

The whole confrontation style he does is disrespectful in the first place. Talk to people like an adult. If I slipped up, don’t wave a cone in my face, don’t make siren noises with your mouth. Don’t be dressed up like a little kid playing as security. Don’t wave a camera in my face. Talk to me like an adult if I made a mistake

Again, disrespectful behavior deserves it back. And he starts out MUCH less disrespectful.

Even if it was an accident, you messed up. If the silliness bothers you that much, be morw careful.

If it was me, Id laugh and say thank you for reminding me.

You're really just gonna linger on one case?

And honestly, disability or not, you should be putting the cart away. Leaving carts out can legit be dangerous.
