Used to wrangle carts and I didn’t mind the carts that weren’t returned to the corral that much, but I did greatly prefer it when they were at least hiked up onto a planter curb so they don’t roll away.
Yes! If I feel I’m too far from the cart return, I will at least put it somewhere safe. The whole point of cart return is to keep the lot clear for cars, assuming there are enough carts to go around
In Spain you have to use a coin to detach a cart from the others.
Well, I have a homemade metal thingy than can release the cart without a coin AND I can pull the thing right back out so I don’t even have to leave it in the coin slot.
When I’m done I still leave the cart in the return area and attach it to the others. I don’t even leave it unattached for the next person, because some pieces of shit already leave carts around the parking lot somehow.
I’m a petty motherfucker and I wish the worst to those assholes.
Doesn’t work in America because the largest coin is a quarter (i.e. 25 cents), likely not enough to deter theft (or even laziness).
So instead, many supermarkets installed a system that locks up the carts’ wheels if they’re taken off the property, which makes them extremely difficult to push. Unfortunately, that also doesn’t help with laziness, so we still need memes like this.
Returning the cart means a lot of people unnecessarily walking though the parking lot, which could increase the chance of an accident happening. It is better and safer, at least here where I live, to let the staff do the job one time, from time to time.
Edit: downvote all you want, but my safety has higher priority than the convenience of the store.
That’s a clever way to rationalize being lazy. A grocery store operating that way near me would quickly have zero customers. Perhaps your typical layout is different from ours.
Cart returns in the US are typically positioned throughout the parking lot. It is quite straightforward to just return the cart to the proper spot, usually right near where I parked.
If I left my cart just next to my car or something, the next person to arrive would not have a safe place to park, due to the hazard posed by carts flailing around the parking lot. People do so occasionally, of course. If it happens a lot, though, I would turn around and leave. I’m not returning every cart for them and I don’t want my car destroyed.
I don’t live in the US. Here are spots next to the car spots to let the cart for the staff to pick later, but go ahead, judge everybody else by your metrics and costumes.
That’s…exactly what I was describing, all while right up front acknowledging that others might do the layout and process differently. Is English not your first language? If you wont put your cart in the cart return, you are lazy. You seem to just want an excuse to be rude, so i will move on and say good day.
I haven’t been to a grocery store in many many years now. that applies to any other than convenience stores. why would you waste your time on this shit? I do have housekeeper for the same reason. and a chef for when I feel like eating at home
