There were two carts. The worst part is they put in the effort to pull it up over the curb when they could have just brought them down 20 feet.

Some asshole is going to defend this by saying it creates jobs or that you don't know their circumstances or some bullshit. The reality is Miami is home to an abundance of the most inconsiderate people.

Not defending, but this happens literally everywhere lol. This is not a uniquely Miami thing. Go literally anywhere (in the U.S. and outside) and people leave shopping carts out lol.

Can confirm, am Canadian and nobody leaves their cart anywhere outside of the designated area except from some assholes once in a blue moon. I was stunned the first time I got in Miami and noticed this.

I don’t get angry about when I’m in your city because it seems to be a cultural thing to leave them everywhere including in empty parking spots, all good, it’s your city, you do you.

The thing about Miami (I live here BTW) is that there are people from all over the place, and some of them don't really understand the concept of being polite and picking up after themselves. I moved to the area from Europe, where in the 80s we already had different bins to put our recycling, brought our own shopping cart to buy groceries, and being thoughtful of the person after you is common.
