I had a libertarian friend once spout out ex nihilo what bullshit it is that grocery stores put up signs saying "Please return carts to designated areas in the interest of keeping prices low". While that statement is certain to spark hot arguments on its actual plausibility, you can't really deny that the idea is grounded in reality, and you can't really argue that two extra minutes in the day's work of a minimum wage employee is going to jack the price of canned tomatoes to absurdity.

What did strike me was the fact that he was bitching about an exaggeration which his platform would praise as perfectly legitimate exercise in the free market system.
