To return the shopping cart is an easy, convenient task and one which we all recognize as the correct, appropriate thing to do.

To return the shopping cart is objectively right.

There are no situations other than dire emergencies in which a person is not able to return their cart. Simultaneously, it is not illegal to abandon your shopping cart. Therefore, the shopping cart presents itself as the apex example of whether a person will do what is right without being forced to do it.

No one will punish you for not returning the shopping cart, no one will fine you or kill you for not returning the shopping cart, you gain nothing by returning the shopping cart. You must return the shopping cart out of the goodness of your own heart. You must return the shopping cart because it is the right thing to do. Because it is correct.

Contractors and Tradesmen are the number one group exposed to this shopping cart phenomenon on a DAILY basis. Most of the work we do is hidden and out of sight. It is this phenomena that causes the unique relationship between contractor and home owner.

"How will I know if they will do what they said they would do?"

"How will I know they will deliver on their word?"

"How will I know that they are not cutting any corners?"

These are common questions and concerns that are pondered on a daily basis and as contractors we must be able to sympathize and address their concerns.
