That is awesome. That’s the kind of old lady I’m going to be. Go, Granny!

I admire her spunk, but there are crazy people out there. I don’t want grandmas to get into physical altercations with the jerks of the world.

There was another guy whose ONLY TWO JOBS were to put away "throwbacks" (when people are checking out and decide they don't want that box of tampons or crackers or that yogurt after all) and to "level" shelves which means to go left to right, top to bottom, making all the items on the shelves look neat and orderly. If everyone put back food from Aisle 2 that they decided in Aisle 9 that they suddenly decided they didn't want and then put it back very neatly that guy would be out of a job.

So I think as long as you don't put your shopping cart in a handicapped parking spot, it's totally fine to leave it in the parking lot.

Use your imagination -- obviously that cart is gonna roll into another car long before the lazy-ass whose job it is to collect carts actually collects the carts.

It has literally never dawned on me to NOT put my cart back. Absolutely triflin'.

I agree that not putting your cart back is a sign of poor character or a lack of home training, but so is denigrating people doing honest work.

I never leave trash in my cart, and I will throw out trash I find in my cart, but I do not always put my cart back. My nephew has a job moving carts around so I know that it is actually a job for someone at the store.

I am only half-heathen?

Honestly, i would immediately start filming her, act like I don’t know what she’s talking about so she gets agitated, and watch her speed away when she finally realizes she’s being filmed. Just for kicks. Or just ignore her.

Or tell her to go speak with the manager!

The only person who gets a pass are pregnant ladies. Everyone else can haul ass a few extra steps and add their cart to the corral.

Is he a Michigander? Nobody in that entire state returns their cart. It’s a pretty flat state; that cart ain’t gonna roll far.

WTF. I am 39 and have never not put my cart back because I’m not an asshole.

It’s negligence. One was left in a giant parking lot and it rolled downhill and dented my car. I’ve seen them crash into cars from the wind.

Did he put it somewhere so that it won't roll and ding another car? If yes you can keep him. As noted by several others, it is someone's job to collect carts and he is contributing to the economy.
Did he just leave it willy nilly where it can roll into another car? if yes, divorce. Clear sign of low morals and character.

YES. And that guy in the parking lot? His job is to get them from the corrals in the lot back to the store. You out your cart in the designated corral. Back to the store is not even a thing in 99% of store parking lots. It is not at all rude to just take it to the corral area. It is appalling to leave it wherever.

Yeah but they are supposed to collect them from either the corrals or directly from people. Not stray carts from parking spaces. That's just crappy.

You see crappy. I see extra hours of an hourly job.

Clearly someone who never worked an hourly. This is more work during the hourly shift, and I refuse to be the asshole who thinks the cart collector should be working his ass off for $10/hour. The employee taking carts from corral to store is sufficient, don’t you think? Instead of having to go out of their way to collect every entitled asshole’s cart from wherever they abandoned it?

I live in San Francisco, and even here, all the grocery store parking lots I can think of all over the city are flat. The shopping carts aren't rolling unless someone is pushing them.

Ugh, I hate this. I always put it back even when I was lugging 2 little kids with me. I hate not being able to find a parking spot because there are carts in the way.

I'm also the weirdo who puts other peoples' carts away.

Honestly, I did check on this sort of thing with guys I dated, and would use this as a reason to break up.
