What would be a good sign coming out of such people?

    I understand where you are coming from, but most people who do this at times are more likely just ignorant than even “fuck them people”. In-fact, the walmart near me has a guy waiting outside along with the security most of the time to collect carts once the store closes, so many people are like “he is going to collect all the leftover carts anyways”.

    Especially for those who have parked their cars a bit away, I really doubt such people are going to return all the way just to put a cart on the cart return location, rather than just putting the car on the side and just take off with their car.

    To make things worse, there are staff on stores often these days that organize and collect leftover carts, so it’s been a while since I have seen a good chunk of people return their carts to their return location, especially from parking lots, unless they are close to that return spot.

      “he is going to collect all the leftover carts anyways”.

      This mentality is just selfishness and self-centeredness. This is the same mentality of people who cause a huge mess at restaurants or movie theatres because “it’s their job, I’m giving them work to do.” It shows an extreme lack of empathy, and it’s very much a “they’re beneath me, I’m helping them” disgusting mentality.

      Most if not all big box stores have cart corrals out in their parking lots where you are meant to return the carts so that they can be collected more efficiently without having some employee run all over collecting carts. Andtheres the matter of run away carts especially if it’s a windy day. Those carts can really get moving and cause some damage to cars parked out in the lot. No one is saying to take them back to the entrance of the store, simply to put them in the collection point so they don’t wander.
