I'm not a perfect man by a long shot, but I do return the shopping cart, and occasionally on my way I grab another cart that some savage has abandoned out in the lot.

I'm impressed that I saw this posted tonight and saved it. I always felt like a "good guy" because I pick one in the lot and drive it in and afterward, bring back my cart unless I put it in the chute.
I didn't tell anyone that I did it, I didn't parade the entrance of the market to show my goodness. I just did it and do it. I prefer the smaller ones too and often they're the ones abandoned.
In this case of finally getting some affirmation, I think I'll blast Strummer when I hit the Winn Dixie tomorrow evening for you fren. I know my upvotes are bottle caps here but I like the jams too and hope I'm not mistaken. All in good fun.

The best spot in the parking lot isn’t closest to the door rather closest to the cart return

Not if you don't want people hitting your car!

As someone who used to get them. Fuck no getting shopping carts was my break from working hard. I would get twenty minutes to chill and push carts. Y'all shouldn't take that away from us.

Yep. Been there done that!

I always pull one from the parking lot corral when I get there and put that fucker right back where I found it when I'm done.

If there wasn't one in the lot and I have to get one from inside I put that fucker right back where I found it too!

Glad to see I'm but the only one who calls it a buggy haha (at least in the South)

New Englanders call it something different. I can't remember what.

I think buggy is definitely a southern thang.

Rubber baby buggy bumpers!

It's funny, I've noticed this, over the years, when going to other cities. In mine, there are NEVER carts in the lot. Just doesn't happen. Take a look around the areas where the carts are abandoned- shitholes and the SNAP shoppers there look just like their shithole hoods.

I hate to admit it, but the Europeans have solved this problem. Go to an Aldi's, and there is usually NEVER a cart in the lot, because you have to rent them for a refundable quarter you get back when you return it. Such a simple, elegant concept. Even for those who are in a hurry or inconvenienced, there's some other person who is willing to grab the cart for you and keep your quarter by returning it.

But then you have to carry a quarter.

After loading it up with GOYA beans, I always return my shopping cart.

This sums up my life motto. You wanna see the most passive aggressive me come out? Leave your shopping cart out of place in front of me in the parking lot...

The worst are those morons who leave their carts in parking spaces. If the people who don't return carts are "bad members of society," then the parking space a*holes must be Antifa.

TIL I'm a good member of society.

I have always said I will be ready for communism when all carts are always returned (without homeless people collecting Aldi carts for quarters). I have no fear of that day ever coming to pass.

The real answer is just leaving the cart at the door and carrying the groceries to the car. It's easy if you're not buying a bunch of liquids.

That is a good metric. I would give some allowance to the person that has a family emergency, but otherwise that's a good point.

One of my biggest peeves! I will walk through rain and snow to put the cart up or in the return corral. Always some asshole that leaves it in a parking spot or next to your car, dingin' up the door.

I used to return the carts for this reason and still do sometimes, but someone told me that there are workers paid specifically to wrangle up shopping carts and I’m just doing their job for them.

This is gay.

If people don't return their carts, that's a job that has been created for people who return carts.

Not returning your carts is job creation.
