Do you think it’s fair to think that just because you are able to, others can too? I’ve been living in Canada before moving to florida, opposite weather here, extremely hot, I try to stay cool as much as possible, it’s good that you “crossed a parking lot at a street” (assuming that is long distance, don’t extactly understand the meaning here), but I am not you man, different people, scenarios, circumstances.
I know people are going to downvote this for me lol, again I ain’t justifying for those who actually don’t return when there is actually a cart corral nearby, but I am not trying to justify my own actions or argue for those who make this mistake without a genuine reason wantedly, in-fact as I’'ve mentioned in several other comments in this thread, I do online shopping mostly these days, so this does not even apply to me.
I am simply trying to discuss from another not so popular perspective here in this thread.
I am also wondering if people have different definitions of what “bad” could be, because to me, this is more about lack of responsibility and ignorance when you are able to return a cart, but you still don’t. If I saw someone doing this without a genuine reason like I have stated before, I don’t think that’d still make them a bad as a person, I’d consider them not so responsible and kindly ask them to return it.
If they’re physically able to push the cart somewhere they should be able to return it. Bar some edge cases I don’t see why someone wouldn’t return the cart.
I think you have stricter definition of bad and a looser definition of acceptable reasons. For me “not responsible” is bad, like a minute amount but still in the bad zone, and tough weather and distance isn’t enough of a reason to not return the cart.
The thing is, pushing the cart to take groceries to a car is a must for a person isn’t it? The same can’t be said for returning it, and while I respect a lot that you seem to have returned the cart every single time even if there is no nearby return spot, I don’t see everyone being that way, especially when some stores barely have enough cart return spots on parking lots with PAID staff who are there to collect leftover carts.
If I am being honest, when I do physically grocery shop, in most cases since I mostly order online, when I really only have to, I do physical visit and I don’t buy much, I just carry them with my hands to the car, I never had this issue lol.
I think a lot of people, me included, have been cart pushers or other similar minimum wage jobs so it’s a bit emotionally charged. For me even if there are staff it’s still not nice to pile work on them, you know? Like others in the thread said, I don’t value my time more than theirs.
It’s interesting how you assume I do it when I am not even exactly arguing for it, you people just can’t seem to understand or deal with the fact that some stores out there don’t have enough car corrals and practically in real-life out there, people are bound to do this if the stores aren’t bothered enough to have enough cart corrals in a big damn parking lot.
Nobody will cross to the other half of the parking lot, especially if it’s busy with moving cars, to return a cart, if we can’t come to this agreement, those who have been downvoting me are being delusional in my opinion, remember, in my opinion.
And it’s wrong to judge someone of doing that just because they are arguing from a different perspective, I am not even saying it’s okay to do that when you do have a cart corral nearby, there are people who do that and don’t return the cart even they do have a cart corral nearby, but expecting customers to do that even with the lack of cart corrals is nice to hear, but UNREALISTIC.
I’ve crossed a parking lot and a street in the snow to return it before. If I pushed it there I’m getting it back. Simple as.

Just accept that this thing that you do is bad. Then be better.

You said you do it, and why.
