Returning Your Shopping Cart

[Michael G.]

When you go shopping, shopping carts are there for your convenience, do you return
your cart to the cart bin or return it to the store, or leave it in the parking lot??

I have already taken a cart from a parking space in the store with me.

This question was discussed in the Daily Sun on Tuesday, and just some food for thought.

Cheers!

[LuvtheVillages]

I have difficulty walking. I park in the handicap space, and I am always happy when there is a cart left there for me to use. It helps support me as I walk to the store and while shopping. Thanks to anyone who leaves a cart near the handicap spots.

[Two Bills]

I usually take our own plus any that is dumped and blocking a parking bay to the collection point.
Bit like repairing pitch marks, your own and any other you see.
I also take old people across the road, whether the want to go, or not!

[Stu from NYC]

Who knew you are supposed to return them thought they were freebee.

Now that we have 27 sitting in our garage how do we bring them back.

Did get some odd looks when I have put one in our trunk though, now I know why.

[Mrprez]

Mine are virtual, they disappear after the transaction.

We always return the real carts to the cart corral.

[ThirdOfFive]

One of my wife's pet peeves. As in "why do they leave carts in the parking stalls when the cart corral is only 30 feet away"?

It is not anything that I lose any sleep over.

[Bill14564]

I'm 50/50 on returning to the store or putting in the collection area. If there is a cart close to where I parked I may bring that with me to the store.

Leaving in the parking space? Not a chance! Not going to be one of those people!

[villagetinker]

When I use a cart, it is always returned to the closest location, either the store front or a designated area in the parking lot. I appreciate the store providing these for my use and would be very disappointed if these were removed due to abuse.

[La lamy]

The only time I've left it near my parking space is at the 441 Lowes near the golf cart parking spots. I don't know if I was blind that day but couldn't see a cart holding area.

[Michael G.]

I appreciate the store providing these for my use and would be very disappointed if these were removed due to abuse.

Maybe someday they will ask for a fee to use their carts like Aldi's.

Still a quarter and customers very good about returning them.

[Bjeanj]

MichaelG, you have come up with the oddest topics of conversation. Sucked me right in! :icon_wink:

I try to park close to a cart corral, but not close enough where an errant cart could clip my car. If I can’t park close enough to one, I will return mine unless I’m having a bad day (physically). If that’s the case, I’ll push the cart in front of my car, making sure the wheels are turned so it doesn’t get blown around and end up hitting another car.

[rustyp]

FYI - you put a quarter in the slot to get the cart. Stays in the slot while you shop. Put the cart back and you remove your quarter. Zero spent and you did the work - ingenious !


Look before you leap.

[JMintzer]

Always. Either back to the store or in the parking lot cart corral. Whichever is closer...

[Garywt]

They offer trolleys to do your shopping, do you drive yourself or do they come with a driver.

I also take old people across the road, whether the want to go, or not!

So you are the one, I always try to leave the store but someone keeps taking me back across the street and into the store.

[Garywt]

Generally it is my wife who takes it once I take the last bag out of the cart.

[Calisport]

I always return the cart to the store front unless there is a collection area in the lot.

[OrangeBlossomBaby]

I always bring -two- into the store from the parking lot. Even if I'm only going in to pick up milk. It's really nice that people leave them next to the handicap spaces for folks who have difficulty walking. . . UNTIL the wind blows that cart into someone's side panel. Not so nice then.

When I'm done using one, I put it in the closest corral or I offer it to any customer on their way in, if they're parked near me.

[Bjeanj]

[davem4616]

I always return the cart to the designated places in the Publix lot.....

yes, I've seen carts left elsewhere in the lot....and I always considered that to be something aligned with folks that had some type of temporary physical condition (leg cramp, pulled muscle, etc.) that prevented them from being the good citizen that they usually are

it doesn't bother me...

Unless you're able to walk in the other person's moccasins...you'll never know why they chose to leave the cart
somewhere else

I try not to judge anymore.....

[Professor]

I always return the shopping cart to the cart rack. Hate it when someone leaves a cart out in the parking lot.

I get many odd looks towing it on the back of the golf cart. Especially when the wife is riding the shopping cart.

[thevillages2013]

If you are ever in the Walmart Neighborhood Market on Heald Way and hear this over the intercom—“ CODE C all available employees CODE C “. Don’t panic there isn’t a shoplifter or a Covid outbreak in the veggie dept it’s a call to wrangle the shopping carts from the parking lot because the cart guy is on lunch break!

It's very simple. Return your shopping cart to the designated areas that are within the isles of the parking lot. Or, if you’re close enough put them by the front where the employees can take them and put them back In the vestibule area ready for the next customers to come in the shop. All the lazy people that don’t care where they put their cart or how it affects somebody else getting in and out of the parking spaces or getting their car scratched Americans need to stop being so apathetic and have some common decency and do the right thing when no one’s watching. Return your cart, say please and thank you... be kind to others.

[retiredguy123]

At Aldies, it's not about the 25 cents. They don't have any place to return the cart, except to the store. They save money by reducing customer convenience. One reason that I don't shop there.

[MandoMan]

One of my wife's pet peeves. As in "why do they leave carts in the parking stalls when the cart corral is only 30 feet away"?

It is not anything that I lose any sleep over.

One of my pet peeves, too. Another one is people who just give their carts a push toward the cart area instead of walking a few more steps and stacking them. What low lifes. Inconsiderate. The guys who collect the carts aren’t amused, either. Cart collection is one of the costs that affect prices, albeit in a very minor way. I know a grocery store in Hackettstown, NJ that charges a quarter for a cart. If you return the cart, you get your quarter back. I’ll bet there are plenty of people here who would return a cart to save a quarter.

[kathy1516]

I do try and return the carts to the corral; however, I park in handicap and there are days when I’m in a lot of pain and can’t safely take it to the corral and walk back to my car. This brings me to the question why is there no return area next to handicap parking to leave the cart when finished shopping? I’ve gotten dirty looks from people that see I’m in handicap parking and leave my cart, yet no one ever offers to return it for me!!!! This is a valid issue for those of us that can’t always comply. It just doesn’t make sense to have handicap spots near the store yet have the return area near the end of the row!

[Pamelah]

I see we got some real comedians here.

They like to think they’re funny.

[Gac57]

I take mine back to the return area and at least one that some lazy ass people can't return.

[EdFNJ]

The purpose of putting them in the "cart corral" is so they don't roll into your CAR and scratch or dent it when either it is windy or some "kind" person bumps into it with their bumper so they can have the parking space where you so thoughtlessly left it. When that happens, you won't be thanking all those "kind" people for leaving them in an empty parking space for you. ;) They BELONG in the cart holder with the understanding that in some cases it isn't physically easyand there is little choice , but generally they are the exception. That's part of the reason PUBLIX offers to take your stuff out to your car and take the carriage away for you.

[NotGolfer]

I'm with you on this one. Before my mobility issues, I would always return the cart. NOW though, if someone is walking towards the store I'll sometimes ask them if they need a cart and always I get some type of affirmative answer. I've often wondered why the engineers that plan the parking lots don't put cart storages close to the handicapped spaces. From the social media comments (not just this one) people tend to be very judgmental without knowing what's going on. I'd say---you wouldn't want to walk in my shoes for a day, a week or a month. I get the remark, "but you "look" great!!" Well don't judge from the outside.

:BigApplause::thumbup::eclipsee_gold_cup::agree:


Publix pays people to help customers rolls their shopping carts/buggies/trollies/carriages (whatever you call them from whence you came) to their cars for a few reasons:

1. It prevents people from damaging the carts or leaving them in far places where they might get missed, which makes them easy targets for theft.

2. It prevents customers from damaging their own or other peoples vehicles, when they leave them outside the corrals for the wind (or customers who don't see/look in their mirrors) to move the carts.

3. It is a good customer service feature in general, something grocery clerks used to do back in the 1960's and 1970's but got phased out.

yes! some carts have a lock-type thing on one of the rear wheels to prevents the cart from traveling too far away, if it's bolstered against a light pole or handicap sign, it won't move:bigbow:

You might if people leave them IN the Handicapped Parking space and you couldn’t park. I use a mobility scooter and can’t move the cart unless I park out in the aisle, unload my scooter and move the cart and try to get back in the car to park and…well I think you get the picture. Please don’t leave them in the handicapped spaces.

[Cherstubbs]

I always return to cart return area or, if close, take back to the store. I usually pick up an errant cart left in the parking lot and take in with me. These behaviors just seem right … like holding door open for anyone, saying please and thank you … 😊

I agree. Had knee surgery a few years ago and really depended on that cart. Always happy when one was close by even though that was not the store’s intent. It was my ‘walker’.

[Dorebea]

If I am close to the store I return it by the door. If not I put it in the cart corral. If there are carts just left in the parking spot by me I put it in the corral. I too have seen carts blown around by the wind and no one wants to cone out of the store and see their car dented.

When you go shopping, shopping carts are there for your convenience, do you return
your cart to the cart bin or return it to the store, or leave it in the parking lot??

I have already taken a cart from a parking space in the store with me.

This question was discussed in the Daily Sun on Tuesday, and just some food for thought.

The first time I shopped at Publix I was about to leave my cart next to my car. An elderly woman gave me the dirtiest of looks. I asked her if I offended her in some way and she proceeded to chastise me calling me a northerner and a snowbird (bless her heart). Well she got the northerner part correct but I am here year round. From that day on I have put my cart where it belongs.

Was that time you speak of with a partner or alone? Just wondering.

Inquiring minds want to know.

Thanks for sharing this, I feel the same ... grateful for a cart nearby handicap spaces

I returned my cart to the store once after unloading in my car and forgot where I parked my car.

I return to the cart coral or the front of the store whichever is closest. If I see a cart left in a space close to my car, I take that one inside with me to shop.

Unless someone is disabled in some way or trying to wrangle 3 toddlers safely inside of their car seats, I think it's pretty rude and careless to leave your cart sitting in the middle of a parking lot, even if it is within a parking space.

You walk to the entrance of the store from the handicap parking space, grab a cart, walk all through the store doing your shopping, walk back to your vehicle, but can't walk the additional 20 or 30 feet to put the cart where it belongs?????

If you can do it then return your Cart to the proper place. That is just being a quality person. If you knock something off a rack or shelf and nobody is around, pick it up. By our age you either already have these qualities installed into your self or you don't. Nobody is going to teach anybody anything now.

the first time I shopped at an Aldis I did not know about the 25 cent "deposit". I parked my car next to a lady with 3 kids and offered to take her cart off her hands, thinking I was being gallant. She looked at me funny, thought it over for a few seconds, shrugged her shoulders and handed me the cart. Her reaction seemed peculiar to me. Then, when I got done shopping and returned the cart to the carousel, it took me awhile to figure out the deal. When I did and got "my" quarter back it dawned on me why the lady with the kids was looking at me funny. She must have thought I was a pretty hard-up case to have to scrounge for quarters that way.

Quite a few people will just hand off the cart to someone about to go into the store and just say pay it forward.

When you go shopping, shopping carts are there for your convenience, do you return
your cart to the cart bin or return it to the store, or leave it in the parking lot??

I have already taken a cart from a parking space in the store with me.

Another conspiracy to eliminate someone's source of employment. Next thing they will come up with is a way to get you to check yourself out, bag your own groceries, and bring your own bags.
