I find that some people are a bit paranoid about this. I follow at a safe distance. If someone in front of me is going slower, I wait until it is safe and then pass them. Now, of course, if I decide to pass a cart, I will move up a bit closer before pulling out to pass.

However, several times I have been four or five cart lengths behind another cart when the cart in front of me will pull over and wave me past because they think that I'm too close.

I'm sure that there are people that follow too closely, but I also know that there are people who just don't want to see someone behind them no matter how far back.
