some countries in eastern Europe have the perfect solution to this....the cart stays connected to the others until you put a quarter in a slot on the cart which allows you to disconnect the tether...when you bring it back and plug the tether back, you could take your quarter back. smartest shite I have ever seen.

I haven't read through the thread, but the people who do that have obviously never had to go around the parking lot in inclement weather and pick them all up. It doesn't take that much energy to put them in its place.

Sometimes I put them up, sometimes I just leave them..... job security for the employees.

Am I the only one here who did some shopping cart bowling in my teens?

Three or more carts as the pins and another as the ball.

Had to use the metal carts; with enough speed (pushed from the passenger side of a moving car) they could turn into a large tumbling mass of twisted metal. If you used plastic carts they just broke apart with little excitement.

Should be forbidden from spreading their genes. Lazy, inconsiderate fricks.

I treat it like a putt in golf. Push it at one far away and see if I can make it

It's a free country and screw your trivial "rules" there is no law against leaving it where I want. If you want to be a sheep and do what is expected of you like a nice obedient subject that's on you.

I always just leave it right behind the car next to me, one spot closer to the front of the store. When he is done, all he has to do is push his cart into mine and leave it behind the car next to him, closer to the front of the store.

Eventually it makes its way to the first spot where an employee can bring in the whole train in.

Not only is it efficient, but it is lazy. Can't think of anything else that is efficient and lazy. Also helps the store gather the carts...that's how I justify it anyway.

the only time i'm not rolling the cart to it's designated area is if there's someone creeping in the parking lot.
i hate when people sit in their cars watching people in a grocery store parking lots. like 'this is calandros.... get the frick out of here. stop staring at my cherry garcia and go get your own!'

I will continue to put the carts up on the curb. I usually park at the way back of a parking lot to avoid door dings

I usually take the extra 2 seconds to organize them so more will fit. Seems like most of the folks that take them to the corral just pile them up around it versus actually putting them in it.

I was sitting in my truck once and the people in the Prius next to me loaded their groceries, then pushed the cart right behind the bed of my truck and got in their car. I got out, pushed it four feet over to right behind the Prius. I expected them to get out, but instead he didn't see it and just nailed it when he went to back out.

Talk about a satisfying day.

I usually grab an extra buggy along the way to haul to the corral. Just what I do.

At some stores I may just roll it all the way back into the store. Extra walking is a good thing.

And, if there is a motorized buggy left out in the parking lot, I usually drive it back in to the store and plug it up. Makes me feel good to help out.

If everybody put their carts up, some cart wrangler would be out of a job.
