ok so i was at the store today, and i was done with my cart so then i walked over and put it in the cart holder..thingy. and then i started to wonder at how many people actually took the time to do that.

so my question is. when you are done shopping at the store, do you go and put it away, or do you just leave it in a random spot by your car?

i don't normally buy enough stuff at a gorcery store that requires a cart...actually, i don't normally go to a grocery store at all.

but anyway, when i used to go with my parents when i was younger, it was upstate new york and some stores' carts had a little contraption on the side of the handlebar. you had to deposit a quarter to get the shopping cart from a row of them, then to get your quarter back, you had to push the cart back into a row of other carts.

it's not exactly like this but it's similar and was on the right side i believe, not the middle.

I always do. A couple of times the deposit things were just far enough I thought it wasn't worth it. But I got looks from people when I left it and I hated that lol. So now I always put them back.

I put it away. If any of you have gone to Aldis you'll have to insert a quarter into a slot to actually get a cart then when you're done using the cart you have to put it w/ the rest of the carts and then your quarter comes out. That's how they do it in Germany too

I get to the car, put the groceries away, and then i put it in thosel ittle ditches, where the trees are. You know how you have to hike it up and secure it there. I always leave it in random places, because my friends work at the grocery store and they always complain about getting carts out that way (:

If I go shopping with my older siblings, I just leave it in a parking space just to be mean and lazy, but when I go grocerry shopping with my dear parentals, I try to be as polite and dilligent by returning the cart to its rightful space.

Oooh, that's so cool! I want one of those! Even if you don't get money, putting money in and getting it out excites me. Heheheh. laugh.gif It must be the "putting money in slot" part. I love those machines.

Well, before I worked at King Soopers, I used to just put my cart wherever and leave it there. But after having to push those things back and forth around the parking lot, I've learned to put it back in the cart place. It doesn't take that long.

You can find out the number of people that use shopping carts by counting how many there are in the lot NOT in the return area.

DUH

I do, because it's hard to park when a shopping car is in the way...

Yeah.. some guy got in trouble in our neighborhood because he left a shopping cart out and it rolled into this car and it got damaged. It was pretty funny seeing it roll down the parking lot though. laugh.gif
