AIBU to not put my trolley away?

In my local, large, Tesco they employee people to do this. They generally have at least one person a day on this in the busy hours. I know this, I visit daily, have knowledge etc. This is fact.

It is a low wage job I expect, but it keeps those who will or can do it for what ever reasons in a job with a wage.

So AIBU to never put my trolley back thinking I'm helping keep them in work.

NB. I never leave it a car park space, just on the path.

Really? You look round the car-park at the super-market for trolleys in the wrong place so you can look down on those who left them there?

Oh bless your heart.

No, I look down on people around me I see doing it.

Shall I give you detailed examples, or is the additional information sufficient?

Yes yabu, take it to the trolley park- supermarkets built them for a reason. Plus i really don't think it takes you that much effort to take the trolley to a designated drop off. It will take the trolley collector time to collect everyone's trolleys if we all had this attitude. TBH it looks like it takes them enough time to wrangle the 4/5 different types of trolley into their groups and hoik them across the car park.

I look down on people being rude to waiters, too, btw. And people who don't pick up their dog's shit.

Stop kidding yourself that you are doing the guy a favour, or worse, the reason he is maintaining his employment. I am sure you don't mean it, but that's a really arrogant view to take. It's lovely that you chat to him and I am sure you don't mean to be arrogant towards him as you do appear to care about him but there is no reason you can't maintain the sense of community AND put your trolley in one of the designated areas.

The reality is that there will always, always be enough selfish, lazy people who don't give a crap about the quality of life of other people to sustain the employment of trolley-returners, I'm afraid.

(Funnily enough, I don't think any of the supermarkets in my town do the pound thing, whereas they almost all did in other towns I've lived in.)

Notgoingout Giving reasoned opinions.

Thank you. I will do so going forward.

With the fork in my forehead.

FFS. I thought we were done with troll hunting.

Does anyone bother to check before they do that now?

Did everyone come up with the anyfucker alert for a troll? No, because sensibly she didn't want to be that standard.

No I am not a troll.

YADBU now. for using the wanky phrase 'going forward'

LMAO. I'll give you that one.

And now I send myself this:

You aren't a cunt, OP. Too well intentioned.

I wonder if JKR is on Mumsnet? Bet she's bloody appalled by how AIBU can get at times, if so.

Just to add, I always tip, I always pick up shit from my dog.

What is your specific issue sleep? You think I look down on him?

usual, are you still trolling for a reason to disagree with Cheese?

I think it's sad how people have approached this. My grandfather who died at 92 was still so active. He enjoyed doing things like this. He enjoyed the contact, the reprehensibility. He loved mixing with people.

He wasn't forced. He took these jobs because he loved them. I never for one second looked down on him.

I loved how he loved them. And I think those types of roles can be important, however and what ever they are.

*responsibility.

I didn't comment on the guy with special needs at all. TBH I don't really want to (not anything you've said or not said, honestly, just a sore issue tonight for completely unrelated reasons) so I skimmed over those comments.

I do think you sound like you mean well, though. And that has a lot of value in a world where an awful lot of people don't. Which is, I guess, my line in the sand on where I judge people, generally.

I suspect the general feeling is that it's sort of pity for him in a way that isn't respectful of him as a human being - to create really menial work implies the work he does legitimately must have insufficient value to make his employment worthwhile on his merits, even if the work is limited in scope - it's still socially useful, without anyone needing to create any. But as I say, I skimmed because I don't want to read that bit tonight.

Bollocks to you. I'm not being unreasonable. I help him stay in work and I think he's great
Haha OP that has gotta be the best response ever to a unanimous YABU!
Sorry but yes yabu. I can see you meant it in a nice way but still it is being very lazy to not take it back to the trolley park.

I hope your nigh/time gets better sleepy.

You made me think about my phrasing, but my intentions I don't doubt. I don't think in pity. He brings me joy. Much of it.

Tomorrow, put your trolley away and take him a gift.

OMG. That STILL sounded cunty.

He just makes me smile and think I should always do more, try harder. Inspires me. Anyone and everyone who is fighting their own battles or just living the joy in their life does.

Deal Sparkling.

Don't know what sort of gift though, Something not from the supermarket as he probably gets a discount.
Is there a Mrs Trolleyman?

I reckon that makes u lazy and very unreasonable. They aren't paid (to my knowledge) to move lazy people's trolleys from the path, they move them from the trolley bays to the ones nearer the shop. People like you cause damage to cars!!!
