I’ll never understand people who just leave their carts in the middle of the parking lot. Like you made it all the way to your car, but the cart return is right there. One windy day, I watched a runaway cart slowly roll across the lot and smack into another car while the person who left it just drove off like nothing happened.

It’s such a small thing, but it drives every retail worker insane.
Be honest, do you return your cart or are you part of the chaos? 😅

As a child it was instilled by both my working parents to always return the shopping cart we just used to the location it belonged

I'm totally a cart nerd, I always push it over to the corral thing. I'm even the type who, if they see an elderly person getting out of their car, asks if they need a cart. A lot of older people use them for support, like a walker or cane, and they appreciate getting one handed off to them.

Wow... that could have been bad.
Thing is.. I just remind myself that customers are regular people too and many of them have some bad habits they'd bring along with them. I've had a couple of walk-in customers who would leave candy wraps on the table instead of the trash bin... I offer you refreshments, you could atleast use the bin right next you...pleeeease😫

I always take care of cart no matter how far I have parked my car from the cart return area. It drives me crazy when people behaving like this. I mean be responsible.

Guilty of giving the cart a nudge but never making it all the way sometimes—but seeing it smash into a car? That’s next-level chaos. I try to return mine now…mostly to avoid the guilt trip from coworkers.

I eithern return it, give it to another customer, or get an employee to take it in with other carts.

At a different job I had a customer trying to swindle me in telling me that there was a deal in an item that never had a deal or promotion for sale so he made me scan the item 20 times before believing me. Obviously, he finally let it go but I scan it with an inventory scanner that showed me all of the sale price promotions if there were any

He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.
