This is a completely artificial US problem that has been completely solved in Germany and many other countries by requiring a 1€ deposit to unlock the cart and returning it when you relock it. So, complain to the store for failing to use basic countermeasures.
It was solved for a brief time. Now people have these plastic coins you sometimes recieve as a promotional gift and since it is not a real coin, people stop putting the carts to the corral.
You can witness this every time holidays are coming up and people are stocking their groceries. And the culprit is always middle-aged Karens who also don’t indicate when leaving the parking lot in their SUV.
They have stopped doing that in Norway, at least here. Not sure if it was a corona effect or if they thought it wasnt worth it in terms of customers either shopping somewhere else or shopping less because they take a small shopping basket instead.
Answering No is one of the few exceptions I make in my stance against the death penalty. One strike, no trial, instant death sentence to be carried out by the nearest available citizen using the most convenient method as picked by the executioner.
I’m disabled - walking and standing are very difficult and painful for me - leaving the shopping cart as near as possible to the disabled bay without it being an obstruction is the right thing to do. You can immediately get the support of something to lean on as soon as possible after leaving the car.
Just something to consider. I now submit to your judgment for your death penalty :D
Do you return your shopping cart to the corral unprompted?

I never even knew that in other countries you could just grab one without putting a coin. Absolutely insane.
I see virtually no one not returning them, but I’m sure it happens.

The aforementioned shopping cart.
We’ve invented the electric chair already. The electric shopping cart should be easy.

I return my cart to the corral and any other carts I see along the way.
Even if other people are using them.
No. The corral is a prompt.
I’ll take mine back into the store if there’s no corral.
