The Curious Case of The Shopping Cart Theory
Will this tell you if you’re a good person?
Let’s do a little experiment. I ask you to be completely honest and I promise with no judgment, not a soul will know your answer.
Ready?
Think of this scenario in your head.
Let’s say it’s grocery day.
Your checklist is all crossed out, brown bags are settled, your shopping cart is emptied and you’re ready to go home.
But have you ever caught yourself thinking twice if you’ll return that shopping cart to its designated spot?
Recall… What did your instinct tell you? What was your response?
Whatever you did, it’s just between you and this screen. I asked this first for you to have a full grasp of what The Shopping Cart Theory is all about.
It did blow up on twitter last May when this account @ANTICHRISTJARED posted about an anonymously created theory that says it’s “The ultimate litmus test for whether a person is capable of self- governing.”
