The Shopping Cart Test
- Thread starter Althetuna
- Start date
I saw somebody leave their cart at home depot a couple days ago and it only took about 10 seconds as they walked away to drift toward a car and hit it. I actually ran toward it but couldn't get there to stop it.
I'm amused at the people that will park them on the islands in the lot. Probably expended more effort doing that than pushing it to the corral
We have 2 different size carts at the store I frequent the most. If there aren't many carts in the corral I will separate them into two separate lines so it is more organized.
Then I laugh at myself because that is the sort of thing my dad would have done.

Remember seeing one where some lady claimed she was creating jobs by not taking her cart back.
No, someone already has that job, you're just making their job unnecessarily harder
Whenever possible I try to park my car near one (not necessarily right next to it), and always put the cart back. I also put it on the side of the coral with the same size carts at Hy-vee where there are full size & minis.
I always return the cart, not so much because I'm a good person, but rather because my rampant anxiety causes me to think if I don't return it it could roll away and set into motion a series of catastrophes for which I'd be responsible.
I had that job in high school. $#%& people who don't return their carts, especially in winter.
So if you are parked up front near the store, do you walk it further away to out it in a corral, park it outside the store, or take it in?
I usually put it in front of the store on the walkway areas so it doesn't get into the parking area, but I'm sure that causes problems as well. I used to take them in, but with stores separating the in and out doors with Covid, walking in and then out immediately has become cumbersome.
Also, if Aldi thinks everyone is terrible people by charging a quarter, what does that mean for Fareway that won't let a customer out of the building on their own with a cart?

Interesting to say the least. If I see an abandon cart and its somewhat near my parking, Ill just grab that and push into the store to use. Always return the cart, about 40% of the time Ill walk it all the way back into the store. Having done the cart wrangler job in highschool... that sucked. Ill do my part to make it not incredibly terrible.
I don't think that you're automatically a good person by putting your cart away, but you're automatically a bad person if you don't.
I put the cart back but I let the cashier deal with the basket.
No that's just the way they cut down on labor, don't have to to send anyone out to wrangle carts when everyone brings them back to the door.
I doubt u would be liable because the store is not liable for run away cart damage.
