#30: The Shopping Cart Theory
Have you ever heard of the shopping cart theory? It’s a theory that has been floating around social media for a while. It’s the theory that a person exhibits their ability to self-govern if they put their shopping cart back after unpacking everything into their car. One look around an average parking lot can tell us that we’re definitely not ready to live in an anarchic state.
Putting a shopping cart back isn’t that hard. Why doesn’t everyone simply push their cart back to the railing device? Instead, every parking lot is littered with plastic carts that block intersections, parking spaces, and more. Maybe if more people knew about the shopping cart theory, they’d gain a sense of responsibility. Or maybe not.
