Shopping Carts

Every time I go to Wal Mart or some grocery store I feel like I am too tired to return the basket at it's proper place, and I always get mad when they are left in the parking lot or in the middle of the parking lot, but yet sometimes I am too tired to return it to the basket thing where the baskets go so I will just roll it up close to the store but out of the way of cars and people. My question is do you always return your basket to it's proper place?

Yes, yes, yes! It is one of my pet hates when I see shopping carts left just anywhere, especially in a parking spot or in a place which will require for you to get out of your vehicle to move or you will have no hope of reversing out of your space! Yes I do always put my cart back in the proper bay or at least out of anyone’s way!

I hate when the basket is in the way of where you want to park so I really try to roll them back the where they belong unless I am really tired I just put them close to the store.

I try to. After emptying the carts, I return it to the bay to collect my money. At other times, I just put it between car lot pillars so that it is our of harm's way. I am responsible in the way I return shopping baskets and carts.

I have only been to Aldi one time and I always end back at Wal Mart so I do put them in the right place if I am not too tired and if it is not so very hot outside.

I always put the shopping cart either in the appropriate place for them, in the parking lot, or I take it back into the store. I really don't like it when I see shopping carts all over the parking lot, so I don't want to add to the mess. Plus, I don't think it's fair to the workers to have to walk all over the place to round them up. In the place I use to live people use to actually walk their carts HOME! Pretty sure that's illegal but so many people did it. I would see shopping carts all around our apartment complex, all of the time! And we lived about a mile from Walmart. The Walmart workers would come around the neighborhood about once a month to round them up. Pretty rude if you ask me!

Well, I work a retail job and I'm ALWAYS cleaning up peoples baskets that they leave sitting in the middle of the parking lot or even right in the doorway where they park them and take their bags out. One busy day at work customers kept parking their registers right in front of where I was working and I had to keep moving them so the next customer could come up. Another day people kept parking them where I leave my register so I had to call someone to move them because I couldn't get out of my register without somone making room for me to get out. So, since I know what it is like to have to clean up all those misplaced buggies then YES I ALWAYS put them where they go when I go shopping.

Here in my place, there are people who does the returning/arranging of carts for us shoppers. I believe that it's all okay, as long as no one breaks or ruins the cart.Lol Supermarkets and Hypermarts caters for customers who are in a hurry, they do understand people in a hurry so don't worry.:)
