No they don't accept tips.

First time I thought I'd give him a dollar. Wouldn't accept it

If it makes people be more responsible, then I'm all for it. frick the people that are ungrateful. How hard is it to return a cart to the designated areas? They're all over the parking lot.

That is how my Publix is. Someone takes the cart out, helps load up, takes the cart back, AND gives you a coupon for a free item the next time you come in. They won't take tips either.

I always thought police shoudl stop anyone pushing a cart not on store property. A lot of hispanic older people seem to like to take the carts home, then leave them on the curb when done. This old Korea vet in the neighborhood picks them up and brings them back to the stores. I watch him every weekend driving around.

If you are with a SO and you see them just leave their cart for someone else to pick up and you don't break up with them immediately,youdeserve everything that happens to you. If you're an idiot enough to be in a relationship with someone that inconsiderate I hope they f*** you over big time

They still need to get the shopping carts back inside the store. Very few people grab a cart in the parking lot before entering the respective business.

You're taking things to the extreme just to say you disagree. Less expenses can keep costs down. A anybody who has ran a business in customer service can attest to how much extra cost you have from lack of respect to the property of the business. Personally, I'd be happy if we made sure people put carts back in the stall. It's only feasible to employee so many people for that job. It doesn't take but a moment for someone to lazily leave a cart somewhere and it cause damage to someone's vehicle.

I think it's a good idea for the masses. However I usually return the cart, more for altruistic reasons.

If you start putting a price on returning the cart, it won't feel as moral to do it and I'll simply weight the cost/benefit. I just may leave the cart than walk it back to the store for a dollar.

Sure thing.


The only people who bitch about this are the ones who are too lazy to park farther from the store. They get pissed because they have to get out and move a cart from their coveted spot, or park farther from the store and move their lazy asses a few extra feet.

I am a disabled veteran that generally parks in the spaces further from the store just so that I have to walk the extra distance.
I not only return my cart to the corral or store, but when I first arrive at the store I will gather up loose carts from the parking lot. My kids help with this and actually argue over the carts when there are only a few in the lot.

I "get pissed" because some self absorbed person doesn't have enough human decency or common courtesy to return an item, that was provided to make their shopping easier, to the store. The carts litter the parking lot and actually damage some people's vehicles.
Cart corrals were added to parking lots just so that these self absorbed people, who couldn't spare a little of their time to walk the cart back to the store, had a more convenient place to put the carts so that they weren't left strewn throughout the lot to possibly damage someone's vehicle; and yet people can't even take one minute to think of the next person coming to shop at the store and put the cart in the corral.

If you don't at the least put the cart in the corral after loading your groceries into your vehicle then you are a miserable excuse for a person in my book.

I'm not carrying my kids back and forth to the store or corral so some teenager doesn't have to do their job.
