Here in Germany, we have to insert a coin and we get back this coin when we return it. Isn't that the case everywhere? Additionally, I've seen shopping carts which have wheels that lock themselves when they are taken of the premises of the store.
So I never had the opportunity to decide only based on good will if I return it or not.
However, I remember how I once thought I had a genius idea: we could steal a shopping cart for a school project where we needed wheels because it would only cost us 1€, lol
I must be a bad member of society according to this theory haha
Not abusing anonymity online. For example, there is the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory or more formally, the Online Disinhibition Effect. So I would say you're a good member of the internet if you behave online like you would in punch range of someone.

you’re right that some carts do require a small deposit to use, but i can only remember seeing those types of carts in Canada, not America…
it’s a good point though, and there typically is some social pressure to return a cart even if nothing else applies.
Not abusing anonymity online
that’s a good one
