I always return it to the cart caddy at the regular stores, but many times I shop at Aldi's. They have a really neat system. The carts are kept outside the store, behind a railing, and each cart it connected to the one in front of it by a short chain. To release the chain and get your cart you insert a quarter into the chain mechanism on the cart handle and go do your shopping. When you are ready to return the cart, you just insert the "key" attached to the next cart's chain, and the quarter pops out and you're good to go. I think this is a great idea as there are never any loose carts in the parking lot, the carts are always neatly lined up in place ready for the next customer, and the store does not have to pay a clerk to gather up all the wayward carts in the lot. In the long run, I believe it saves the consumer a little money each time the carts are used. Maybe more stores should adopt this method.

Yes I do. I do not like to see Carts rolling into cars parked. Or have to get out & move a cart so I can park. That just sets the tone for a bad shopping experience. I do not like to shop as it is, so I do try very hard to be polite & pleasant to the clerks & other employees. Makes their day better than to have a crabby customer. LOL

And on the opposite side of this topic... I had a friend that never put his cart away because he said that it was job security for someone else :) By him not putting it away, kept someone employed. This friend was also a bag boy in high school! So he did spend his afternoons hauling in carts

Neither the Ono or Igo stores HAVE grocery carts to put away. Just a few of the basics if you are lucky, to hold you until you go to town. When shopping in town I do put my cart away...I usually have made several stops and have other things in the truck...that is why door locks were invented. I lock them even when a dog or two is with me so someone won't open the door and let them out.
