Shopping carts
Please place your shopping carts in the proper place when u r finished with them. Twice this week I have seen an elderly person almost fall trying to navigate around them I was I Bealls on Thursday and personally put 11 carts away. Now mind you this was in the store by the front doors. People had actually blocked one of the doors by just leaving their carts there. Really the space for the carts was not 6 feet away. Have we become so entitled that it’s ok to expect someone else to put away your shopping cart. I think all stores should follow Aldis lead and have carts locked together, you pay a quarter to use them and you get your quarter back when u return the cart. Guess what no stray carts in their parking lots.

Good luck with that !!!!
I see people both young and old load their vehicle, push the cart out of their way, leaving it in the parking lot. This chaps by rump..... They don't realize it cost ALL of us because the store must use profits to pay someone to go outside and collect these lost carts... It's called kindness and consideration which is something NOT found here....

Here's a great habit for people who are bothered by it. I am too, so this is my personal habit.
After I park my car, I look for the cart close to my spot in the lot, that is blocking at least one parking space. I take that one. Then, I take a second one. I return one of the two to the cart corral and if necessary, straighten that corral, before I ever get into the store. It takes all of 2 minutes of my time, makes me feel good, and might prevent the wind from causing a cart to roll and damage someone's vehicle. |

This has been going on since stores began having carts and doubtful there is anything you can do to change it other than the Aldi policy. I really hate to come out and see one pushed up against my car, I park as far away as possible to prevent it from happening.

Impossible to deal with the inconsiderate self empowered entitled folks. They don't stop for stop signs, park where they want do not fix ball marks or rake sand traps and they are the ones who are speeding past on the road....to name a few.
They just do not care! |

isn't it incredible that a quarter will change those people's habits?

The Aldi's way has been the habit in Europe for as long as I can remember. The cart returns are in the parking lots, and there are several of them strategically placed so that you are never far away from one. It's a one-euro coin to get one out. There are never, never any carts left out of place in the parking lots.
Now if only the French would break down and put restrooms in their grocery stores...

As to the post the OP placed...I can't speak to carts right in front of doors or the poor woman almost falling because of that. THAT is an entirely different issue and I agree that if you can walk THAT far, take it a few more steps inside. |

To the OP, I feel your pain but this belongs in The Joke Thread! This is the wrong time of life for people to change!

They are the only ones that I know of. Even Fresh Market doesn't offer to take your groceries out. I suppose one could ask...
