There should be a requirement for cart return spots next to the handicap parking. In places where there is a return 10 feet from the spots I still see a ton of carts in the parking spots.

I get that it can be hard, but it seems way too frequent that they could do the whole store but just couldn't make that last 10 feet. Like sure, occasionally that is inderstandable.

So I will judge them while also grabbing the cart and either using it or putting it away because that is the right thing to do.

So the reason you don't do this is because cart returns create a cluster of obstacles. Many people just go cart curling, aiming generally for the return and walk off, which can make an insurmountable obstacle for the handicaped person. Also handicapped spots are at the entrance to the store - if someone is going to return their cart, they'll go the extra 50' to do it. If they're a fuckin asshole that doesnt return their carts, its better not to give them a target around which to cluster their assholeness.

Same with the nearest bus stops to the grocery store. I feel like it's unappealing to be tripping over shopping carts in the bus shelter.
