And, taking it a bit further, that kind of rage over something that is COMPLETELY voluntary ! If I don't have a lot of items on some visits, I don't even bother with a cart, I just take in my large reusable shopping bag. Not backing into, or having so many carts blocking the parking spaces is so worth the $ -0- it costs, the cost is ZERO as your quarter is pushed right back out to you when you put the cart where you SHOULD put it anyway !

I would just point out that Publix has a lot of cart corrals. So, if you park next to a corral, you can take your cart to your vehicle, and leave the cart in the corral without needing to return it to the store. Very convenient.
