To be honest mate - just lazy people that don't give a shit. Speaks volumes of who they are.
Shame. NO feelings when taking it home / apartment, but to embarrassed to take it back.
A few years ago, me and my 10yo kid at the local No Frills grocery store just a few days before Christmas, weeknight and it was snowing pretty good.
We picked up the few things on our list, and went out to the car with them in the cart .
Lot was littered with abandon carts. These the sorts with $1 needed to undo the chain.
Told my guy I would be pleased to help him for maybe 10 minutes. He rounded up and returned 18 carts to the store front where they are supposed to go, and pocketed the $18.
Of course being and 10yo, he promptly spent it on a handheld console cartridge on sale on Boxing Day.

The Food Basics store near me used to have these carts that need a $1 coin.
They got rid of them and now they have a wheel locking system if you try to take the cart off the property.
Yah, the wheel locking system - hate them.
A few years go by, and if a cart is left outside in the winter, the battery voltage drops, and the brakes stay on whether they are inside the free wheeling zone or not.
Then a bit more time goes by and the battery brake intermittently bites when inside the store. Of course no maintenance available by the store owner - they need the oem service co to come in to do it.
Last time an in store wheel lock up happened to me, I had a mostly full cart and two aisles to go.
i went to the front of the cart and started dragging the cart.
This had the locked up back wheel squealing away as I start pulling my way down the last two aisles, leaving a big black streak on the concrete floor from the rubber on the locked wheel every inch I moved it.
The manager came by after a stock boy hussled away after he peeked down the aisle I was in and saw what I was doing,.
He had a little RF wand tool in his hand to unlock it. waved it beside the locking wheel and wiggled the cart back and forth. It unlocked.
That worked for about 10', then wheel locked up again.
I then said to the manager that I would keep dragging it leaving the mark on the floor, or they can load my items to another cart , or they can move it with a pallet and pallet jack, to the check out and then load my items onto the belt.
But I reminded the guy that I got into this state using Your cart in Your store.
I then asked how often do you get your batteries serviced?
The manager talking to me said he did not know that they needed to periodically have the batteries changed out for new batteries.
He and a couple of stockers started to get the pallet jack organised and I proceeded to shopped the last two aisles into the cart from a hand basket I grabbed.
I now, after that circus choose to shop elsewhere.

Agreed selfish cunts. Need a good ass kicking. Most people could use one.

Nothing pisses me off more than dog owners who don't clean after their pets...
I am a dog owner and I feel embarrassed by these morons.
They leave shit behind and a bad reputation to all dog owners. They don't deserve dog ownership.
I would love to stuff that shit down their throat.

Unless there is a cart return spot in the parking lot. Then they need an employee to move the carts from the storage spot back into the store.
Maybe...but i doubt too many really successful people are stuck doing their own grocery shopping.
