How many of you return carts to the store or corrals?
Mark your answer in the poll.
Was just curious, thanks!

Interesting (Off-?)topic.
I work at Trader Joe's and on my lunch breaks I sit in front of the store and check out rides while I eat lunch. Seen some bbbbaaaadddd things happen to cars at the hand of carts. I park up the street, around the corner away from all the trees.
Please. . .please return your cart to a responsible location.
-Stu.

I use the return area in the parking lot...Sometimes I return it to the store.
If I see a few carts close to where I park, I will round them up and take them into the store so they don't get a chance to bang into my car.
Also, I feel for the cart guys...I used to bag groceries years ago, so I don't mind the extra work to help them out.
The last store I worked at was on an incline, there was also another store at the top of the hill...I have seen the wind blow a cart strong enough to get it rolling down the hill...Some poor car would always got a big dent in it!

I always make sure I park next to an island, so I don't get a rolling cart leaving a nice mark in the car. Typically, I park so far out that it's about a 1/3 mile walk to the store anyway!

I spent a few years pushing carts through snow. I always return them to the corral. Often, I'll take a few other loose ones along with me.

I love watching people! Many times I'll be sitting in the car waiting for my wife to come out of the market (she makes me stay in the car cause I want everything I see in the gourmet section  ) and I am flabbergasted at the laziness of most people. Now at the risk of seeming sexist I notice that men usually return the carts to the corral or store, but women will do the strangest things. Usually they just leave the cart between their car and the next and do all sorts of maneuvers to pull out. Many times I see these women simply roll the cart out of the way of their own car and place it right behind the car next to them! RIGHT BEHIND! I am just waiting for the day when soemone does that to me so I can get out and roll it right back behind their car so they have to get out again.

As long at it is physically prevented from rolling anywhere AND not blocking a space, you're good.

Just like DFTowels, I've seen people actually put the cart against another car's bumper just to get it out of the way. If it were my car they did that do there would really be some yelling going on. I also make the effort to place my cart (and others I see nearby) back where they should be. Some people just don't care!

this is about all stores in general that have carts.
It really ticks me off as to how lazy some people are.

Return it to cart corral or give it to someone who needs to use it.
