- As far as carts, I'll return the cart unless its one of those vast expanse parking lots with no return stalls. In that case i'll "curb" the cart by putting its front wheels over something that prevents it from rolling (like a planter or curb stop) and consider my duty done.
The store has to meet me half-way here, give me some reasonable locations to return the cart, don't make me do the work you won't pay some kid $8 an hour to do.
If I really wanted to justify myself, I personally don't mind finding a cart in the middle of the parking lot (so long as its curbed/secured in some way and not just rolling around) which I can grab and walk into the store with.
No, I'm talking about people who just leave it RIGHT THERE on the side of the trail. Seen them persist over multiple days sometimes too, so some of these people definitely aren't grabbing it on their way back.
- Yeah, why not just leave the biodegradable shit on the ground. Why put it into a plastic bag and leave it which will actually litter the environment more!
