Works for me, folks bring their carts back, and possibly one less employee at the store rounding up carts.
That is great, but also consider the people that are hired to go out and round up carts, would lose their jobs.
A woman friend of mine worked with those kids to get them employed, and it meant a lot to them to have the work.
