I used my shopping cart to bring my various groceries to my car.
After unloading my cart, I looked around for a shopping cart corral, there were none close by.
And the store itself was too far.
So I took the cart and just parked it inbetween two cement parking blocks.
$#@! it.
You deserve a "Lazy Bones" magnet.
When we were kids, my brothers and I used to line carts up like a train and ride them down the hill from the store to be a nuisance.
But karma got me. One of my first jobs was as a cart attendant for a big store.

Well it's not my job to put away other peoples shopping carts.

One of these days you will embarrass yourself on youtube.
The store owns the cart, they have signs on the coral that ask you nicely to return your cart.

I say, that's good enough, especially if your back hurts or you have headache or are sick.
If I'm somewhere like Costco, I will return the cart because they have so many of those corrals all over the place.
But if I'm at Shoprite, where there's only two of them towards the front of the store - and I have to walk too far for a person in pain - I will find a place to park it like against some cement or in a space where other people have been leaving their empty carts (they seem to congregate). I usually park way far away from the store anyway, not up front like most people like to, so I don't leave it anywhere near another car - and always turn the wheels so it's unlikely to roll. I say, that is good enough!
The cost of shagging carts is factored into the cost of your groceries.
The store doesn't have to supply you with a cart, they do so because they think it is good business practice.
If no person put carts back, and the supply were limited, people would bring them from the parking lot into the store.
The solution, reduce the number of carts by over 50% and stop shagging carts.
Carts are not a right. They are available for your convenience.

Years ago, one of our instructors would go out for fast food with us and demand that we leave our trays on the tables when we were done.
He said that it was to stimulate job creation and that the restaurants were ripping us off by being understaffed.
I thought it was rude, funny, and probably correct.
He should have broken some windows on the way out, too.
LOL. I sincerely doubt the store cares. Aldi's solved the "problem" by having a quarter check out system for shopping carts. I've had a homeless person come up to me and ask if he could park my cart and keep the quarter and of course I obliged. Problem solved. Stores have much bigger fish to fry like shoplifters.

I never return my cart and I can't tell if you're kidding but I'm not.
WHAT THE F*** DID YOU THINK WAS GOING TO HAPPEN???
I find that Aldi in low income neighborhoods have many carts in the parking lots.
The other day I went to Aldi. Upon approach of the door I noted a cart halfway pushed into the rack with it's quarter in it. I wasn't going to use a cart but decided to take it. This store has carts stored on both sides of the entrance. After turning the corner with my free cart, I noted 4 more carts just waiting to be stowed. I temporarily parked my free cart, and stowed the other 4 carts and pocketed the change. I imagined that had a person that left a cart by the door with money in it witnessed me stowing the cart and pocketing the money, they would confront me and tell me that the cart was for a needy person not for me to take the quarter. Anyway, I always make money off of Aldi carts.
Will take under advisement.
Respect.
It's good to live in Flyover Country. Not every fad that people on the coasts get their panties in a knot over survives long enough to make it this far inland.
Just an extension of the "war is good for the economy" stuff that we learnt in skool.
Meh. One might as well say the same about expensive full service gas stations. If it's a service people are willing to pay for, it isn't the same as breaking windows to make work for glazers. When retailers start thinking carts left in the lot are "broken", they've lost sight of the point, and public service becomes a quaint memory.

I didn't flush after I used the stall in the men's room following consumption of a Denny's chili cheese dog ... striking one more olfactory blow in support of the liberty movement.
Hopefully, you did it in a 'gubmint building.
I also have to point out that the international market, the one where I have to go to get sesame oil and tamari and basa and rajma masala, the one that also sells me produce for less than the "white" grocers and of greater variety (they always have bok choy and okra), the one that carries 110oz cans of Goya products, the one with an actual seafood counter, the one that gives me a couple free cans of soda if I spend over $100, that grocer has like four guys constantly employed picking up every single cart and moving it to the front of the store.
Wegmans charges me more money for less selection and is patronized by entitled yuppies who expect me to bring the cart back.

Do they sell cat and or dog meat?
They sell apple snails and silkworm larvae and about every beef and pork organ you can think of.
If they did sell dog or cat meat it wouldn't be a secret.
TBH I don't see a lot of Haitians in there though, so there's probably not a market for it.

You made it on the show!!!
