Because we're not savages, and can return the carts like a civilized society.

“Civilized”

So civilized in fact, there are monetized YouTube channels dedicated to catching & shaming people for not returning their carts.

So it’s kind of like the European system in a way. Instead of getting a coin for returning an abandoned shopping cart, you can get a subscriber count & ad revenue!

That cart narc guy is absolutely obnoxious. Sure I get his angle, and perhaps some people need to be shamed into doing the right thing, but I'm amazed no one has run him over yet.

He had a firearm pulled on him once actually, he walked away very quickly while continuing the bit haha

Well we clearly can't. Even the existence of corrals shows it's too much to return a cart to a store we just walked out of with said cart.
