If you are going to make me put a coin into a cart because you don't trust me to be an adult and tidy up after myself without being nannied, then I am going to do my damndest to bypass your lock and leave a mess out of spite.

In the shops where I am trusted and not required to pay a coin (I never even carry cash these days) I tidy up because that is the decent thing to do.

Yeah, might just wanna remember that the people that clean up your mess aren't the same ones who put a coin lock on the cart.

Maybe you don't care, but your rage isn't really being channeled in a way that gets vengeance on the right people. It just hurts your working class allies.

Maybe where you live you are an outlier and not representative of the average person behavior, like you are a better person than the average. At least where I leave there is no coin system and people leave carts all around. I suspect that is even worse than what I see because there are employees always gathering carts.
