An afterthought

I saw this meme a friend shared on facebook a few days ago. I added this comment to it:

"The thing about judgments is you never know the full story. I am sure this person would not like that I leave my shopping cart out in the lot where my car was, but make sure it is not in the way of parking. I do this not because I am lazy but because the store has to hire a couple of kids at entry level jobs to gather those carts all the time. I am just helping keep kids off the street and earning some money."

It's for the same reason I won't use those automatic checkout machines at stores. They replace entry level employees as well.

I was surprised to see a couple of other commenters agreed with me.

Today reviewing old facebook activities a little I came across it again and I realized I probably helped create or at least maintain more jobs than all the Republicans in Congress over the past few years, one shopping cart at a time. Isn't there a saying somewhere about if one person does something it's this and if two people do it, it's this and if three people do it it's a movement? 

From Arlo Guthrie"s "Alice's Restaurant: "And if three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people. They may think it's an organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people, I said fifty people a day …"

Join the movement, leave your shopping cart, create a job for a kid.
