Do You RETURN your GROCERY cart to the STORE when YOU are done SHOPPING??

9 times out of 10 i bring it back to the designated area, and there's several all through out the lots, the other one time, my hubby does it haha.
Now they have coin carts, that way you are urged more to put it away, so in order to get the cart you put a quarter or loonie in, depending on where you are, and then when you put it back you get your money back. It's really a wonderful system when you think about it, it keeps the carts out of the way, and makes it easier on everyone all around.
But even the few places that don't have coin operated carts, we still put them away, i get so ansy with things like that, the one time i didn't put my cart away a few years ago, it damn near hit a car, i was so upset i ran and put it away immediately.

At our local grocery store I return the cart to the store. At wal-mart I put my cart into the cart corral. My grandmother always said you must be pretty lazy not to return your cart. That has stuck with me my whole life. If I even think about ditching the cart in the parking lot I can here my grandmas voice in my head saying dont be lazy.

We have it down to a science my partner and I. We unload the stuff into the trunk and while he starts the car I return the cart to it's designated spot and by that time he has got the car and comes and picks me up. I didn't used to care that much until a friend's car was hit by a runaway cart and had a big ding in the door and no one to pay for it but herself! Now I rarely leave my cart in the parking lot abandoned. One day we were driving through a parking lot of a store where you have to put a loonie in the cart to use it and I saw an abandoned cart and jokingly mentioned it to my other half. He drove back and made me take the cart back for a quick buck! I hate it when you can't get a cart inside the store and when none are at the outside of the entrance. I figure it is the least I can do is return it to a spot where they are collected so others will find them without stressing out and the cart boys job will be a little easier. I always feel bad for them in a downpour, roaming the lot like lost souls.

Nope, i dont return the shopping cart inside the store, i just left it on the parking area.. but i still make sure that i will place it where it wont be cause any hindrance to the motorist going back and forth to the premises.. i just think that there were someone designated to do the job... puttig back those cart inside the store..

Yes, I usually return them to the place they have in the parking lot for them. I always feel like I can use the extra excercise in walking. And, they are dangerous just out there rolling around the parking lots.

It depends on the day, honestly. When I have my kids with me and I have to walk a ways to put the cart away, I will generally leave it in the parking lot near where I parked because I do not like leaving my kids in the car by themselves, even if it is just to walk a couple rows over. But, if I am by myself, I will take the carts back. I am sure they don’t like it when I don’t put them back, but my kids are more important than the cart and the parking lot.

Hey, I do agre with u and feel as same. I use to drop the cart at the location they are always collected and same as urs I have faced the problems at the Walmart parking beacuase those shopping cards placed there hapazardly.....

sometimes, I put the cart back where I got it..but lately, I guess I've just been lazy..I've been places where you had to get the cart from the parking lot and not where they keep them..but yeah, most of the time I don't even put it back..

My partner and I take turns putting the shopping cart where it belongs. I wouldn't feel right if someone elses car had been damaged because of my laziness. Eventually prices go up at the grocery store because the store has had to payout money for cars that were damaged in their parking lot.
