Not true
The teen agers the store hires retrieve those stranded carts
As usual between the poles there is an alternative. If you don’t return your cart do you at least abandon it where it doesn’t inconvenience others?
LOL
I'm a guy> Like most guys I don't keep change. Our car has ONE quarter. That quarter is more precious than gold when I go to Aldi's.
” Do you accept your duty to return the cart even though you gain nothing?”
We always return the carts to the stanchions. I figure we do gain something by doing that. If a store doesn’t have to hire a person to wrangle carts all day long, that might possibly keep prices lower. (I know; it’s a stretch, but it makes sense to me.)
So, are you saying that all the homeless are terrible people - because they are very often pushing a shopping cart around town?
Shame on you for judging those who are less fortunate than you.

If I park and find a shopping cart someone just left in a non-blocking spot, and it’s near where I parked, they’ll I’ll return it to the same spot.
All other times I return it to the carriage return or up front of the store.
Hell, if I’m walking into the store and I see a shopping cart left behind outside that’s blocking a parking spot or a row, I’ll even return it to at least a non-blocking area.
I always run my shopping cart into the sides of other parked vehicles, I also like to kick the wheels so other shoppers get the cart with wobbly wheels.
Then when I’m finished I like to push the cart into oncoming traffic usually with a small child riding inside.
Sometime I take the carts home. I now have quite a collection for the coming apocalypse.
Does this make me a bad person ? I think not !
“This is a pretty good indicator of a person’s ethics, i.e. how you behave when there is nothing to make you act one way or another.”
I admit that when I have a cart full of shoplifted steaks I often don’t have time to return the cart, but I want to.
Does that make me a bad person?
My wife is handicapped, and a shopping cart left in the path between the parking slots is a great help. When we shop together, I always leave a cart there. Otherwise, it goes into a nearby corral.
Depends. Are you sharing those steaks?
Yep!
“Does this make me a bad person ? I think not !”
Long as you don’t remove those mattress tags!
“Depends. Are you sharing those steaks?”
Those are MY steaks. Are you too lazy to go steal some of your own?
Thank you. Somebody had to say it.
At first I thought the writer was only joking. No. She’s totally sincere in her belief, and in how significant that act is in defining her character.
See, isn't that a cool thing for me to do?
This is very limited part of the larger question:
Do you return your own shopping cart?
If an abandoned shopping cart is near your car, do you return it to the corral section?
If an abandoned cart is between you and the corral - but not threatening your own car, do you step over and push that cart to the corral?
Would laz hit it?
I always return it to the rack. Except maybe a few times in my life. But I also pick up the loose cart in the lot and use it to shop with.
