Speaking of not returning shopping carts...

[walbs424]

So DH and I moved from the philly suburbs to south jersey in August and one of the first things we noticed is that everyone here is the WORST ar returning shopping carts and it makes us both so rage-y. This was the scene today at the grocery store

WTAF.

[Daikoku]

Lazy to the extreme

This isn't even the worst I've seen.

[hydrangea1019]

That's really annoying. It looks like it was a nice weather day, too. No freaking excuses.

[ghostmonkey]

That's a pretty big stretch of parking lot for there to not even be a single cart corral.

I can occasionally let a stray cart go, if it looks like the person tried to put it in a "safe" location. I figure they had a "reason" but JFC they're everywhere.

[SheilaTheTank]

Not surprised. That's Jersey for you.

[lilkitty831]

Seriously? Wtf. I hate people.

There was one maybe 6 parking spots away

We have NO cart corrals in our TJ's parking lot/shopping center and there are 3 or 4 stores in that provide shopping carts. The TJ's people ROCK though about going around for them. Today a guy stopped at my car to get mine. (Don't worry, I was 100% planning on returning it, it was just good timing so he did me a favor!)

South Jersey is the Philly suburbs.

I assure you that it's not like that everywhere in South Jersey.

(I grew up there)

[fuzzylogic]

Wow. Okay, so I never see that here. Ever. I only go to two different grocery stores here and they have lots of cart return stalls, though. The Petsmart will sometimes have a cart in the lot because they don't have a return, and the people are always so grateful when I walk it back to the store (H and I have a deal -- I return carts, and he always brings the car to pick me up lol) so maybe I'm weird.

I'm rambling. I've been around teenagers so much I don't know how to adult anymore. Sorry.

I just want to point out that I love parking lots with no cement in front of the spot. Ever since I accidentally hit somebody's car one time while backing out of a spot, I get super anxious while backing up my car. I like when there is no cement so I can just pull forward to the next spot and easily drive away when I leave.

That's a thing? God that would be a bitch to plow.

Pisses me off!

DH had one hit his police car last week. Talk about lividddd

[somethingvague]

Wow! People in my area suck at putting up carts but I don't think I've ever seen it that bad.

[notlindsrockies]

Cities plow parking lots?? Shit, my city only plows main arteries, and even then it's shoddy.

The company usually hires a private plow company.

I wish our Targets/Wally Worlds did that!

[thewickedfairy]

^ Me seeing that picture! People are so rude! How hard is it to return the fucking shopping cart?! Seriously!

Do you get much snow? They have to do it here or they would get no business because you actually would not be able to get your car there.

We do, I'm in the Rockies. 6,500 ft above sea level, what what!

Those are horrifying.  The teeth one is just OMGGGG

[getzystark]

I think people who don't return shopping carts are the same people that respond with "that's someone else's job" frequently. And that makes me want to slap people.

I'm glad ours at work are like that though so you don't have to watch for people pulling through spots. But our campus is huge and 3rd shift leaves when office people get there and it's a cluster of like 500 cars moving. 

[longlivetheevilqueen]

Dude, peole are fucking assholes. I hate it when they leave carts in the middle of a available parking spot. Like wtaf? I have to get out of my car,move the carts to the corral and then park.

[expatmama11]

Wow....crazy that people really do tend to follow the masses. One person leaves a cart so people after think it's okay too. Ridiculous!
