It is desgined to encourage people to return carts to designated areas rather than leave them randomly in the parking lot
>To get a cart you must insert a coin
>When you return a cart you get the coin back
>If you abandon the cart in the lot someone else will return it for the coin
It allows the company to reduce headcount by an employee per shift and still keep the parking lot usable.

*sigh*
Time to repeat the encyclopedia *again*
"Liberalism - that ideology that holds that the primary, or only, goal of government and society it to maximize individual liberty and equality. Liberalism can be divided into two broad groups, the 'Classical Liberals' that focus upon individual liberty, and 'Social Liberals' who focus on individual equality.... ...while they differ from each other in some ways, both Classical and Social Liberals are part of the same left-wing movement'
PoliSci 105, folks.
Here is how my professor explained it to me:
>"Do you want your government and society governed by a king, aristocrats, and the Church? If yes, you're right-wing. Of no, you're left-wing."
Virtually all modern politics is a fight between the two main branches of Liberalism.

For those who have have had no issues finding direction in their life, have settled into a career path, able to cope with adversity well when it hits them, etc. astrology would probably be useless and meaningless for them, unless they wanted to know more about themselves.

This is because they would have a sense direction regularly and would have no need to consult anything for advice.

On the other hand, astrology tends to be more useful for those who feel they lack clear purpose in their lives, who often face obstacles when it comes to accomplishments, have difficult time handling stress, who have emotional or mental disorders, have faced tough period after tough period, etc.

For this group, analyzing their natal aspects and planning & preparation for upcoming major transits & progressions would be crucial for a more fulfilling life. This is so they can be used to the best.

>It's up there with garbage man, burger flipper and whore.
I am very literally laughing out loud.
Someone who pretends to be an adult that ranks food, waste disposal, and janitorial in there with being a whore!
I love running into guys that despise honest work.
Let me speculate here, but I bet I am close....
You got a lot of pressure from your overbearing mother to focus on school and get goodd grades to get into the best possible college to get a 'decent job'. You never did any chores or had a job because you had to 'focus on school'.
Your grades were average, even with all that focusing, and you were careful to avoid the toughest classes. You never spent a lot of time with girls, either, because of your mother's overbearing ways.
You like to think of yourself as 'gifted' but an 'underachiever' because you are 'bored' (and may have used that to try to convince others that you are smart despite tour B- average). You have never taken a formal IQ test and never had a teacher suggest one.
Your grades and lack of extracurriculars meant you had no shot at a top school so you went to the closest land-grant, telling people it was to 'save money'. You took the pre-reqs in math and realized it was really hard so you went for a Liberal Arts program that you thought sounded 'intelligent' and ended up with a lot of people
just
like
you
Your are taking 6 years to get your degree, your grades aren't good enough to justify grad school, but you are still thinking about grad school because the idea of getting a job is terrifying to you.
In the meantime your only source of solace is the idea that the blue collar guys making $28k-$32k to start at the age of 19 are stupid and bad and their jobs are humiliating because otherwise you have no justification for NOT getting a job and having a little money and taking on less dbt.
And you wonder why some mornings it is hard to get out of bed, and why you put off that paper until the very last minute then rush through it, and why you didn't study just a little more for that test you could have gotten an A on, if you tried.
And you are terrified that you mother will look at you with That Look if you graduate and can't get a nice job in a cubicle in a tall building making juuuuust enough to pay back your student loans, guy a Starbucks once a week, and pay a little (a little) rent.
But you know you probably won't get one, what with no experience and no real skills.
But after all that pressure from your mother....
Sure, every garbage company is hiring, and for good money. Sure, every janitorial is hiring, and for good money.
But it would be *dirty*, dirty like a *whore*. Just like the whore your daddy ran off with.
Right
