    I do it all the time. But then the bicycle rack is right there.

    You do realize that A handicaped person isn't always able to use the provided spots close to the doors . Many people find it very painful to walk and will leave the cart wherever it is .

    At the Festival and Kroger the cart racks are farther than the doors for the disabled spots. At least Wally put's them right at the bike rack. And there to far from were it's safe to drive, so I see a lot out there. The bus stop is even worse. Lots of disabled and elderly there and no seating either.
    Oh well. Life still interesting. :whistle:

    There are often two sides to every story. We need to also note that many places have signs inside the doors, right at the carts, which state they are NOT to leave the building. The reasons for this are simple. They not only become unavailable for the next actually needy person, but also they are electric. And leaving these outside in the weather destroys them. (Then people have the gall to complain no carts are available, "it's not working right", or "it's wet"....)

    BTW- I am handicapped. And also experienced from both aspects of this discussion.

    A very busy store can require hours daily of one or more people chasing both push and riding carts. (Instead of being inside stocking shelves, while those same people who cause the problems outside complain about "where is it, it's not on the shelf....") Which if a patron finds it irritating to walk a very short distance and to place in their cart proper return rack, it is miserable as **** for the cart pushers who spend hours out there in blistering sun, rain, wind and freezing conditions, just to make thoughtless, lazy bums happy. Try it some time, at near zero degrees, in wind chills of minus twenty, pushing a batch of those back in to the store in snow and on ice. Yes. There are mules, but they need frequent charging and staff cannot sit, waiting on them to re-charge. It forces them to do the work manually.

    Then there are the STUPID children let loose upon this world, who joy ride handicapped carts around stores, thinking it is all a joke. Then abandon the cart in the back end of the store, take it outdoors, or generally cause discomfort to the other shoppers and staff. Their dimwitted parents are a disgrace to all of society.

    Been there. Done that work. The general public is all too often selfish, self-centered and has ridiculous expectations, derived from simply weird conceptions. :mad::mad::mad:

    Totally agree. Don't forget those that take them home, bus stop or another store.
