In regards to that last sentence in the shopping cart theory they need to add wearing a sport jacket on an airplane. |

Cart returns did not exist prior to the past 25 years or so. Prior to that, store employees assiduously scoured the full territory of a given parking lot to return them for customer use. Why should shoppers accept this prolonged attempt by Big Retail to shift their responsibilities (as they have historically acknowledged them) onto the public? Cart returns are a symptom of a decaying consumer capitalist system. And cart narcs are agents of corporate control. |

Unless those are staged, I'm surprised that guy hasn't been on the receiving end of a fairly serious beating. |

Anyone who doesn't put their cart back in the proper location should hopefully have their car either dented or scratched by a loose cart. |

Most grocery stores also didn’t have public restrooms, but they did have an area up front dedicated to pop bottle returns (along with an employee whose job it was to sort them). Those were the days. |

Grocery stores welcomed the "luxury" of public restrooms because they encourage consumers to spend more time--and presumably more money--shopping. |

It's interesting the trash dumped in grocery store parking lots from cars. Walmart customers are the worst. People also left their used pandemic wipes and rubber gloves in carts, and strewn all over the lots. |

I would happily open the doors for people (better than following Mom around while shopping) and most people gave me the quarter for the effort after they returned their carts. |

This reminds me of a little running joke I have with my 17-year-old daughter from back when she was learning to drive. One day when she got her permit I let her drive to the supermarket, and she saw a front spot available and I stopped her and pointed out a spot a little further back that was right next to a cart corral. I told her it would actually save her steps to give up a few spots of location for a spot next to the corral so she can put the cart in there quickly and easily (which is true). So she pulls in and parks and I grabbed her arm before she could get out, looked her right in the eye all serious and said "always, and I mean ALWAYS, park next to the cart corral. I can't stress to you how important this is. ALWAYS." So now every time we go to the store with her she always gets real serious and says that, especially to my wife who never parks near a cart corral, she parks wherever and ends up hiking around looking for somewhere to dump the cart. |

I shagged carts and sorted the bottles when I worked in a grocery store in H.S. Getting carts when it was pouring rain was a real treat, as was going to retrieve a cart several blocks away that someone pushed home and left in the alley. Those were the days, indeed.

Meijer has a double lane corale for small, and big carts. Most everyone has newish cars at mine. I wouldn't dream of not putting the cart away properly. |
