Do you return your cart to the corral at grocery stores?

I always return my carts and baskets.

About twenty years ago, I worked at the Richmond Wal-Mart for a few years, and one of the cart pushers there would call in a bomb threat from the store lobby whenever he'd get too tired of working. He pulled that stunt off at least twice before management caught him. XD

So basically your entire post was either a lie or a justification for being a lazy POS. lol

I worked part time at Meijer years ago and I often went outside for carts and I hated when customers were too lazy to push their carts back to the cart corral. I would have to walk all over the lot, sometimes out near the street to get carts, and let me tell you, when it is cold and/or snowy, that was the last thing I wanted to do.

I always return my cart to the cart corral and I'm not it the best of health. Anybody that doesn't do that is just a lazy SOB.

Always return them and grab one from the parking lot when I arrive to shop. Don’t be a lazy bones.

The same lazy, inconsiderate (and likely obese) bastards that don’t put their cart in the corral, are the ones that decide at the last minute that don’t really want those frozen peas that are already in their cart so they set them on a bare shelf in the pet food aisle before going to checkout.

If stores in America want people to return their carts more often, they should put up large signs that say "Please, please, DON'T return your carts!" Then we'd have folks fighting to get them back in their bins, all while screaming that the stores can't infringe upon their rights.

The first time I met Johnny Cash, we were standing a parking lot in Reno talking. A crippled old man came out with a cart and left it next to Johnny's car. He pulled out a 45 and shot the guy in the back of the head. We stood there and watched him die.

I told Johnny I thought I'd write a song about it. He said if I did he'd shoot me to. Then he bit off a piece of my ear and asked if I understood. I wondered if I should sue him, but only nodded my head yes.

The son of a gun stole my idea because of few weeks later I heard him singing about it.

I do when the corralls are located in the parking lot. But if there's not one, or one lone one bbut is located way far away in a giant parking lot, I won't. I'm not walking 10 minutes back to the store front if they're too cheap to provide adequate amount. Feel it nis my duty to leave it be and force their hand to buy more.

Also. I worked at Kroger and did gathers carts. Best part of the job. Always over insisted I push the groceries out so I could get outside. Spend a fifteen minute chunk every couple hours getting those carts in really helped break up the shift.

First off, I do corral.

I was a bagger from 1986-87 at a local independent. The owner had the biggest store in town. We thought at the time that it was huge. He had 9 checkout lanes and did more business than any single Kroger here(we have three).

There was a time when the cart corrals didn’t exist. The grocer would have more help dedicated to scouring the lot for empty carts or have bagger/carry outs.

The man I worked for would not let a shopping cart leave the building.

After bagging the groceries, the baggers would place the paper sacked groceries in one of these


and take them to your vehicle.

The customer shopping carts always looked brand new from never seeing the lot.

No dings for anyone to ***** about.

Tips happened too, but weren’t much. I could usually make enough to buy lunch from the deli.

my first job was bagging groceries at food land in Owensboro. Spent an entire summer pushing one of those carts around.

I made $5.15 an hour and earned every penny. Only things I hated about it was the steam coming from the black top after it rained, and that it was the same summer that ‘livin la vida loca’ came out. I can’t even begin to count how many times I heard that damn song
