Cart Narcs

Cart Narcs is an American group of volunteers from Burbank, California, formed by Sebastian Davis (born August 31, 1980), also known as "Agent Sebastian".

The group is best known for its video confrontations with retail customers who leave their shopping carts in parking lots. They often do this through humorous or lighthearted interactions, aiming to promote good etiquette and habits. The group is also popular for referring to such individuals as "lazybones," a term coined by the Cart Narcs labeling those who refuse to put their carts away as lazy. Occasionally, the Cart Narcs might also call out those who litter. The group is popular due to its YouTube channel, which has amassed over 500,000 subscribers. The group's founder, Sebastian Davis, stated on an episode of Dr. Phil that the group's mission is to ensure public decency.

Although "Cart Narcs" is based in California, they have conducted "investigations" in New Jersey, New York, Texas, Hawaii, Oregon, and Pennsylvania.

Criticism
The Cart Narcs have received criticism, with some referring to their actions as "harassing," and stating that the group is not trying to protect public decency, but instead trying to publicly shame people for the purpose of entertainment at the expense of others.

Safety concerns
Sebastian Davis has reported that certain individuals whom he and his group have confronted retaliated by resorting to physical force, including pointing guns, throwing drinks, chasing them, and hurling car magnets. Some individuals have also responded with verbal threats. To mitigate the risk of harm, Davis and all other Cart Narc agents wear bulletproof vests and receive training in self-defense, as well as sprinting when required.
