    Absolutely, there are few things that are more frustrating than trying to park your car when there are shopping carts strewn around the lot!

Her response was YES, I was looking for a buggy (cart) to use. She also said I wish they would leave a few carts near the handy cap parking spaces. People like me need them.
    I just wanted to throw this out there but not as an argument for leaving a cart in the lot for being too lazy. But only as an experience I had.
    I don't want to appear cold or unsympathetic but if someone is that frail should they be driving. We told my Mother-in-law she had to give up her car when she became so frail that we were concerned she would not be able to move fast enough to brake quickly or swerve at the last minute. Just saying.

    I always put my cart in the return area.

    Here in my town, it's an unspoken courtesy that you stop your car when a person is walking from the store to the lot with their cart. Sometimes you just can't stop that heavy cart from rolling away on you.

    Do drivers in your home town stop as you are exiting the store?

    I guess I'm a little surprised that some of us don't put the carts back. It's always seemed to me to be rude to leave a cart out loose, expecting someone else to take care of it. Especially when the only vacant parking space holds an errant cart, or when a cart takes off down the lot and runs into someone's parked car. It's just like if I knocked some cans off the shelf in the grocery store, I don't expect someone else to pick them up for me. I made the mess, I clean it up. I used the cart, I put it back.

    I always do and I never cross a parking lot even if it is empty - I always use the correct lanes for driving in a parking lot. - J.
