I always put it in the cart return if there is one. If not I leave it by the door. It makes parking easier for us all and such little effort seems to make the employees happy.

Best answer!

I certainly don't.

It erks me when I see people leaving their carts in the parking lot especially when there's a cart corral only a couple of parking spaces away.

If a person has enough time and energy to drive to the store, walk down several isles to collect groceries, wait in the line to pay for them, walk back thru the carpark and then unload their groceries into their car, then they can dang sure return a basket to its designated place.

No way, a person just all of a sudden ran out of energy or time or whatever lame excuse he/she tries to come up with.

(This excludes (IMO) the disabled, elderly, and people with babies or small children who may have already placed them inside the car and don't want to leave their children alone to return a cart to the corral.

To anyone without a valid excuse for leaving their cart in the parking lot.....may your car be hit with rogue baskets a thousand times over. LOL

I always return the cart! I think Aldi's has a good idea as they make you pay a quarter to use a cart and when you return and park it, you get your quarter back!

Our grocery stores tried that system about 20 years ago but had to discontinue it, due to so many complaints. We have Walmart shopping carts scattered all over the city too. Walmart has to pay someone to go around with a truck and trailer to gather them up. Humans are a strange bunch sometimes.

The shopping cartsnear where I live are a lot bigger than yours. https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=5AUexjmB&id=004EDB42011DBAA230BDB4A8D233C59B23C97C22&thid=OIP.5AUexjmBK28sjFRw3hendQHaEy&mediaurl=http%3a%2f%2f3.bp.blogspot.com%2f-zWg547Vf2_c%2fUeVXlAdVXjI%2fAAAAAAAAAPo%2fGJg6K6tHUWk%2fs1600%2fStroller-shopping%2bcart1.jpg&exph=1035&expwY ABSOLUTELY NOT! It's discourteous. Just the other day, I saw a driver do that, and I blasted the horn and started screaming at him. It was hard for me to turn, as there was oncoming traffic. He just waived at me, as if to say "get lost". I felt like taking the cart and putting it behind his car, so he'd have to get out and move it.

We always put them where they belong, for the same reason everyone else has said, so that they don't bump your car. We haven't used one for 6 months, not been to the supermarket, we've been shopping on line, while covid is around.
