Half a dozen shopping carts, sitting in a grocery store parking lot, wouldn't normally seem go be a subject to spark a commentary on human nature,
but these did, for me. One of the employees was collecting carts to return to the store, but he got sidetracked by another job and forgot to come back
for several that he left sitting out in the lot. Waiting in the truck, a couple rows away, I watched person after person walk past, or add to,
the growing line of misplaced carts, even though it caused them extra time and effort to back their rigs out to leave.
Not one of them made any effort to stop, for the single minute it would have taken, to slot the whole line of carts back into their proper place,
and out of the way of traffic. Finally, the employee did return and take care of them, but it was amazing to me that nobody would stop
long enough to move them, even out of their own way, because it wasn't *their* job. Go figure.
