But is creating those jobs actually something we want? How much does someone get paid for collecting carts? How much does that increase prices for basic necessities? Do we have a labor surplus such that any job is a good job?

The answer to all of those is "no." I don't know about you, but I'd much rather keep my office job than go collect carts, so I put my cart away so the person would would have that job can get a better job.
