I would put them back if I went to a big enough supermarket. I return the basket :)

I'd note the one time I don't return it is when the grocery store can't be bothered to take carts out of the collection points in the parking lot.

The worst are people who leave it filling up a parking space.

Return the cart to the corral, this is what is right and honourable.

Always.

I think a better litmus test on this subject would be peoples individual response to the coronavirus.

Always return.  Sometimes I let it roll by itself to see if it will hit a car, but I return it the cart place afterwords.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

If I had the coronavirus, I would return it to the corral with the other shopping carts.

Topically, I saw this campaign poster by Magistrate Department 48 (aka MA48, "The 48ers", they're in charge of all things waste management related):



"Help, I'm being kidnapped!"

Apparently there's a €50 fine if you're caught. Still not aware that this would be a major problem, even when I was living in the 10th or 20th district.

It's usually one of the key signs of a rough estate that there's abandoned trolleys about the place. Apparently they are very common in waterways too.

What if it is like 7 of them all stacked up neatly? Asking for a friend.

I always return it UNLESS there isn't a cart return corrale within 60 feet or 10 parking spaces. At that point, the store has only itself to blame. :mad:
