When I go to the store, I always try to park next to the cart return, and towards the back of the lot. Makes the car easier to find and I get a few extra steps–not to mention the gas saved by not wandering through the lot looking for the “closest space.”

Today, as I was leaving, a woman was loading her groceries into the car directly beside me.

Then she pushes the cart into an empty parking space and leaves it there.

Did I mention that I was parked directly next to the cart return?

How pathetic a human being do you have to be not only to refuse to return your cart, but to do so when it was essentially the same number of steps to put the cart in the return?

Some people.
