How many of you return carts to the store or corrals?

This idea has been around for a while, but most stores have scraped the idea b/c it pisses some customers off (dealing with quarters and all) and their research has shown it hurts business by putting some customers off.
boo hoo hoo TS if some customers don't like it. What is this world coming to.
The way I put it is there are soldiers putting their life on the lines for us, the most we can do is stop complaining about little things like putting a qtr for a cart, c'mon, you'll get it back(unless yur lazy and don't bring the cart back)How lazy can one be not to set a qtr aside in the cup holder in their car?
That little box is one way aldi's keeps employee count low, and their prices low. Therefore, the little box=lower prices.
If a customer doesn't like it, go to another store and throw away $... those little boxes save the customer $$$$$$$.

Wal- Mart should try it (Quarter buggy deposit)...Even if someone were lazy, I bet some kids would round up all the buggies just to get the quarter deposit...I might even take in a few myself!

I always park far away, and try to park at the elevation peak so carts can't roll into me. Or I'll park such that there is an island or something protecting me. Then, when I'm finished shopping, I close my trunk and from up on high at the peak of the parking lot, I give my cart a mighty shove back towards the store. It flies down the sloping parking lot picking up speed, bounces over some pebbles and gets diverted right into a row of cars... At that point I'm already driving away, so I assume it just gets diverted again, drives up the curb in front of the store, and rolls gently into the hands of an incoming shopper, thus saving them the inconvenience of separating a new cart from the chain. :wavey
Ha ha, just kidding. I always return my cart to the corral or the store. I also usually grab one from the parking lot on my way in and deposit in the corral if I'm not going to be buying a lot. I hate seeing them sit in the lot just waiting for a breeze to start them rolling. Even though I park defensively, I can imagine some jerk driving through the lot, hitting the cart, and sending it carreening uphill at my car, or getting enough velocity to catapult over an island into my door. Mind you, I've never seen anything like that ever happen, but it still haunts my dreams...

I round up buggies for a living, and if anyone ever told me it was my job to play scavenger hunt with buggies i might have to beat them. My job is to get buggies out of the buggy corrall, not collect individual buggies from every corner of the parking lot. I've actually seen people park BESIDE the buggy corrall and still just leave their buggy sitting there. I just can't believe that some people are too lazy to even walk around a car to return a buggy. Also, i've saved many cars by sprinting out the doors and catching a buggy just in time. Then, i get to see the person whose car i just saved leave their buggy sitting around too.

Lazy people should not be allowed to use a cart
Yeah mine too. I always take the cart back to the store (the only cart park is right next to the store). I park my car way out there, then push the cart to where the car is (the other end of the parking lot, away from other cars and stupid lazy people), after unloading it return the cart to the store.
I noticed an interesting thing, when other people see me taking the cart back they do the same (I guess they'd feel ackward to leave it in the middle of the parking lot after seeing me push the cart back from the other end of the lot).
They had a solution for carts being returned to their proper places in England. Some supermarkets use a cart which you have to pay for (you insert a 1 pound coin to release the cart). When you return it you get your money back, after parking it at its proper place, of which there a number of spread around the parking lot.

Oh I believe it. It's the same reason that some people litter, don't turn their cell phones off at the movie theater, bang their car door into yours, spread STDs, etc. Too many people just don't give a **** about any person but themselves. :angry
In relpies to the last 2 messages... I agree with you all the way.
People have basically become PIGS! And at the same time ignorant. No one's perfect, but I try to do my part for the better by being a courteous driver by letting people get out of driveways in heavy traffic etc... the little things. But when I sit infront of a grocery store watching someone load their goods into their car, while being hurried by someone waiting with their signal on to get that spot, that ticks me off. QUIT BEING LAZY. If there is a front spot open, I'll take it, if not, no big deal. When I pull out, and some one is hurring me, I pull back into my spot and wait as long as I have to like a stubbron donkey until they go and find another spot.
Off topic> Should I start a topic where we can rant about lazy people and get it out of our systems so we don't rip their heads off when they tick us off?

Dont get me started about rude drivers, my peeve is people who beep their horn to let someone know their ride is outside. Get off your fat arse and ring the Bell , does everyone within a Mile need to know your ready!:angry :shocked
Release your anger and pet peeves over stupid and lazy people on: THE PET PEEVES THREAD
Shopping trolleys (UK speak) - one of the car enthusiast's greatest enemies.
I have actually had a face to face row with a chap whose wife/GF allowed her empty trolley to bang into the side of my previous car after emtying the contents into her car.
I naturally asked her what the **** she was doing and got a mouthful of abuse in answer, then her husband/BF got outa the car and threatened to hit the side of my car with the trolley because I'd dared to comment on his wife/GF's inability to return it to the proper place.
I refused to back down and then drew his attention to the CCTV camera positioned on a pole about 20' from where the incident occurred - quickest £50 I've ever made (plus I suggested to him that if he touched my car with the trolley he'd need it surgically removed.)
I now park as far away from the store as possible and GF's started doing it too after a horrid dent/scratch left by either a door or runaway trolley -
GF "you can fix that can't you darling?"
Me "er, no"
