They were healthy enough for all that but not healthy enough to walk a few extra steps to put the cart into the corral.
OK then!

Doesn’t matter. I don’t even need to provide such a veneer of an argument to point out the flaw in this scenario. All I need to do is say four words: “I don’t believe that”, and their assertion is proven false.
“There is an art to the shopping cart return: you must stand at the end of the cart return area and push the cart so it nests perfectly with the other carts in the rack.”
It is fun to shoot in the cart from ten or fifteen feet away and get a bowling strike!
Their carts are in better shape, too. The cart wranglers tend to damage them when they take in 40-50 at a time.
The real question in this thread is — who still ‘rides’ the cart to the car? Our Sam’s Club is on a slight hill, I have ridden the cart a good 200 ft when the wind is right.
I’m pretty sure. 😏
It all depends on the store and the circumstances.
If possible, I take it to one of the corrals. I don’t have a car, so I’ve sometimes had to skip doing so in order to catch a bus. But I always try to make sure it’s out of the way and not going anywhere.
The other day, I did cross a busy road to pull an abandoned one out of said road. Its front wheels were off the curb, and the wheels weren’t locked, so I felt it was a Christian’s duty to get it out of the way.
Where I live in Texas almost everyone, I’d estimate over 99%, return shopping carts they have used to the store’s cart corral. And I and I suspect many others, will return the rare wayward cart someone else has left loose. Do you have any idea how much damage a wayward cart can do to a person or vehicle in Texas winds? Not too long ago I saw three or four carts together blown backwards out of the corral. Forty mph winds will do that. Yep, I got out of my car and wedged the carts safely in place.
Wrong. I help myself with self-checkout. I'm faster and more accurate than the people at the registers. Also, I usually don't have to wait in a long line.
Ah, I take it you don't do that.

Some stores do not have any or enough shopping cart corrals.
That is why the carts end up in the planters.
It is not you are not a good person it is the company is cheap and they know the carts will end up in the planters or an empty parking space.
The customer is trying to send a message to the store owners!
We are cart returners - 100%. If I’m ever made king I will declare not returning the cart to be a felony, punishable by 500 hours of community service in the local Wally World parking lot.
