Since it seems to be a wide-spread problem and it's not just me, contrary to opinions here, there is a very simple solution. Stores should schedule their sackers, stockers, etc. to assess the parking lots and retrieve carts more frequently. It is their lot and their carts. We hand over money in exchange for goods and services, and part of those services, is store and parking lot clean up, which isn't just trash pick up. 4951

No, its common courtesy for the customer to return the cart to the store front or cart stand. Clearly you are too selfish , self centered, and entitled to do so. 4951

Of course, the Customer can put it in the corral, and no bag boys will lose their jobs because they still have to bring them back in the store and no Customer cars get dinged. 4951

I won't put them back if it's storming outside but I try to put it where it won't hurt anything. Of if ****** parked wrong next to me, I may put it behind his car. That's just a requirement of karma though, not me being lazy. 4951

Put your cart back. I find it so lazy and inconsiderate not to do so unless you have a very good reason.  On a side note, when I lived in PA for grad school they called them Buggies. 4951

I always put my cart back because I worked at a grocery store in college and now seeing carts in the parking lot drives me crazy. When I used to teach I had a little boy in a wheelchair in my class and one day he told me he wished he was allowed to return the carts like his brothers/sisters. His mom never let him because he took longer to put in the car. It's funny how you take things like returning a cart for granted. Whenever it is pouring down rain or a million degrees and I am tempted to not return my cart I always think of him. 4951
