I work at Walmart and I sit in my truck every day on my lunch hour and just watch people. So I know at least half of the do-gooders in this thread are full of shite.

They managed to come with you into the store and walk around the store with you, and you can certainly keep control of them while unloading the groceries into your car and then walk with them back to the store or return corral. It’s not that hard. If you have taught your children to take parking lots seriously and listen to your commands they can accompany you anywhere. At those ages it’s reasonable to have at least one child in the cart until you drop it back off anyway.
bring them with you to drop it” “leave them in the car”. What planet do you live on?

Just got in the car at Robért. Lady who was shopping the whole time as me, roughly 65-70, has a broken arm and it’s in a sling. Whatdoyaknow, she loaded the groceries into her car and took her cart and walked it back into the store lobby. Hmm.
Really makes you wonder. A 65 year old with a broken arm doing better than young moms and dads.

Wow, and to think, she risked getting trafficked that whole time. Such bravery!

I still remember when high school kids would be employed to walk you to your cart, help unload and then return the cart.

It’s disgusting that people just leave carts given the current system.

That said I do always return the cart unless it is raining or really hot outside.

I return the cart. The stores I shop at Publix or fresh market do have places throughout the parking lot. That is the only store I would ever need one. If it was a downpour I would place next to a gator or dogs fans car so they hit it.

Check out the parking lot of the Wal Mart on Burbank and you’ll see shopping carts that are left in the raised rocky areas between the parking lanes. It took those people more effort to get the carts there instead of rolling them to the return areas.

Not full of shite - Just don't grocery shop at your WalMart.

Look at the city’s where people can’t return carts vs other places where would you live? It’s obvious

Those carts still have to be taken from the parking lot back to the store, regardless if they're all over the lot or where they should be.
That's why I grab one in the parking lot (usually in a parking space or in the handicap area), walk it in the store, do my shopping and return it to a rack in the parking lot after I load my truck. That is how we should do it, if physically able.

This always blows my mind. Park next to a cart corral if you’re too lazy to walk to one to return it. My 3 year old loves pushing the buggy to the corral to “crash” it. Don’t let your kids be your excuse.

I never go to Walmart but those people always make me laugh. Spend so much time trying to make sure the cart won't roll away. When they can just return it to where it is designed to go.
What is the thought process here? Walking too hard? But they already walked to the store and back
