The Shopping Cart Theory: Putting Weights Away
Okay, so, in the last few weeks this whole idea that whether or not somebody puts their shopping cart back where they found it is a good judgment of overall morality has been blowing up.
You may agree. You may disagree.
Personally, I think if you don't put your shopping cart back, you're kinda an asshole. But putting it back doesn't make you a good person.
To me, it's a lot like putting your weights away. In most gyms, you can find the pricks based one who has other people put their weights away for them. But, I still know plenty of assholes who do put their weights away. In most gyms putting weights back is just commonplace, especially gyms with good cultures.
I think it's only a prerequisite.
Same thing with picking up pucks. The best leaders I've ever played with, no matter where they were on the rookie-veteran totem pole, picked up pucks. The worst captains I've had, all thought they were too good for it.
But maybe that's just me.
