I don’t mean just returning your shopping cart to the cart area, but actually sliding it back in. At my grocery store, some people half ass stack it back in or don’t at all. This drives me nuts because when I come to return my cart I have to fix the mess before I can return mine. Plus, I don’t want the workers who collect the carts to do any more work than they already do.
I caught this one guy who was returning his cart and I had to wait until he was done. Instead of stacking his cart, he just left it there in front of the stack and I said, “C’mon man!” He was surprised and said, “Oh!” then immediately stacked his cart.
The day after I bought my last car, a shopping cart got caught by the wind and slammed into my door, big scrape. Now I judge people who don’t do it. We have several businesses who do reentry programs, including the supermarket itself, who hires convicts to be cashiers. Hardware store and bakery do the same thing, just up the street. If returning carts is the only job an ex convict can get, you need to urge more stores to hire them, not leave your carts around the lot.
