Returning Your Shopping Cart
 

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!

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.

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!

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.

Mine are virtual, they disappear after the transaction.

We always return the real carts to the cart corral.

I see we got some real comedians here.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

In UK no food supermarket gives 'free' shopping carts.
You get your £1 coin back when you return your trolley.

Aldi's has the same policy.

I leave the cart behind the car that took up two parking spaces.

I return mine to the cart coral.

........'cos they is smart!

Wonder who this driver upset!

I take any that could blow into my car. I always return cart to cart bin or take it back in store. I don’t want to be seen as a ———. (Fill blank with appropriate word that fits?)

Thank you will be put you on my mailing list for my next show.

Just covers some of the cost of the employees. Last time I was there it was only quarter in 90’s. For the lazy entitled hardly enough.

Still a quarter and customers very good about returning them.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

Sorry about that........:clap2:

Wait until I start a topic on how much you remember the first time you had sex.

What’s that?

Once upon a time in a Galaxy far away there was this little ______.

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.

Nothing says I have to engage…

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.....

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

A lot of the Canadians grocery stores do that.

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

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!
