I respectfully disagree 100% that it is any test of morals or character whatsoever.

There is simply no moral deficit or character flaw in choosing to place the cart out of the way of other shoppers but not taking it to another spot.

Similarly, there is no moral deficit or character flaw in your taking items off the store shelf and putting them in your cart but then failing to front the stock (pull the next packages forward to the front of the shelf for the next shopper to easily grasp without reaching). If you're like most people, you never think to do this. Is it nice to do? Sure. Do I do it if I think of it? All the time. Do I HAVE to do it to not be judged by Karens?

Nope! Store employees are paid to take care of the details of the positioning of products and positioning the shopping carts the products go into. Would you like to be adjudged morally inferior or of poor character, just because you don't front the stock every single time you take an item off a shelf?

Look, we're busy. We're working to pay top dollar for the goods; we're lifting heavy items from the shelves into the cart; pushing it all around the store; unloading it onto the conveyor; taking the bagged goods out to the car; loading them into the car ourselves; unloading them at home and putting them away...that's enough work for groceries, thanks.
