“I always return the cart to the storage area. Always.
If there is one loose in the parking lot nearby, I often grab that one and return it too.”
Same with me.
I think part of it is I can’t stand seeing someone get their car needlessly pinged, and part of it is so that whenever I come in, I don’t want to navigate around them.
Plus, it looks third-world to have them just all over the place. Now, it is the norm.
