you secure the kids in the car first every time, even in perfect weather. That's the safest place for them. Lock the doors when you return the cart.
But T&C doesn't even have kids. He's just an old, lazy dude.
Lol... have we met or is this just a guess?

my best friend in elementary school had a green one “pea picker”I had the regular, stripped down Sting Ray. I loved that bike. I rode it to the mall (Bel-aire Plaza in Daytona Beach). I went into a drug store to buy candy, and when I came out it was gone.
I had a Sting Ray too... sucks yours was stolen, mine I basically wore out. It took a lot of abuse riding trails and going off of homemade jumps.
So, I guess a good time was had by "most".

So..............I’ve heard of COW tipping. You go CART tipping?
Once every few years... yes.. yes I do.

I am such a blabber mouth. Now someone will make a zillion bucks in Buffalo and they can quit plowing parking lots.
They would all be stolen...

At least curb it or put it on the side so it can't roll anywhere.
Oh it won't roll anywhere when it's on its side... in a very rare scenario.

So, what we see here is a lot of good citizens on a message board. Next time I come out of Publix in a torrential down pour I'm still leaving that cart wherever it may be. Otherwise, its the cart corral.

Then couldn't you park next to the cart corral?
No, I park the Cayenne on the outskirts so it has less chance of getting dinged up.

I should have texted you to return it for me seeing as the corral's are 150' feet out.
31 minutes ago, 4merper4mer said:My policy is to go to my car and then try to push the cart back to the collection area from my car. I'm really good at it. It's a cross between bowling and putting. I rarely miss but when I do, I'll follow the cart and put it away. The only exception is when I hit a parked car at high velocity. If that happens I just leave. In all the years I've gone to the store I've only hit about 35 cars.
Side note:. One time I pushed the cart across the row without realizing a car was approaching. That dude was driving too fast for a lot and that cart really took off when he hit it. It went about 6 feet in the air and rolled over 3 times. It just missed hitting a baby in a stroller. I left but in the rear view the driver didn't seem very apologetic to the mom. He seemed more confused. What a jerk.
This is definitely a "pics or it didn't happen" post lol...

After 13 years in Rochester, I went grocery shopping for the first time here in West Texas. After I had paid, a kid came up and offered to take my cart (here they call it "basket") to my car. No, I said, I can do it myself. He: But, sir... Me: No, I do it myself. Then, the next time grocery shopping it dawned on me: here they have employees who push your cart, load up your car, and return the cart to avoid it being stranded on the lot. I do not know how widespread this service is - I have not encountered it anywhere else.
In Walmarts and Target you have to push your cart yourself.
Publix will ask if you want help with your cart. Even if I have just two bags I always say sure, lets go. Reason is that the baggers always want to get the ***** out of there, even if its for 5 minutes... and I get that. A little fresh air and they've "helped a customer".
Plus, after thanking them... mentioning something like "tell the girl stocking aisle 5 that she's hot as hell". The cross
eyed look back is either funny or... an agreement, yes she is.

People who can't walk a couple of extra steps to put their cart in the parking lot cart return area are just lazy....in any weather. In large parking lots, there are multiple cart return areas, so it is not like they have to hike over the hills and far away to return their cart.
I used to have to retrieve carts when I worked at a grocery store. I hated having to go all over the parking lot and into neighboring stores lots to retrieve the grocery carts, no matter what the weather. I disliked retrieving carts because my other duties inside the store were not put on hold, meaning customers (shoppers) and management would not be happy if I was gone a long time retrieving far off carts.
No way. This depends on where you live and what time of the year... or even the Time of day.

Not 10 seconds man. I'm not taking the mofo anywhere in that kind of weather... even with an umbrella.

I swear by the My Radar app. Have been using it for years.
I had that one a couple of phones ago but I find that just keeping Baynews9 in my google search field gives me the best one locally... the thing is pretty damn accurate, county, 7 county, Florida.

In that weather, it's likely to get blown into someone's parked car.
Not really. In the rare chance I have to go to the store (Publix) with weather like that (I'm a radar freak) there are hardly any other cars around.

There is never a good reason to not put a shopping cart in a cart corral before leaving.
Disagree. Like I said, we get rains at the rate of 1"- 2" an hour sometimes... and the thunder and lightning. That cart is staying right where I left it.

I'm usually good with taking it to a cart corral if it's Publix, they have theirs placed out the right way. Only reason I wouldn't is a soaking monsoon rain like we get here in Florida. Other stores don't have theirs placed out right and I'm not going 3-4 rows over to return it. If I have just 2-3 bags I don't even take the cart out of the place, just walk them out. I'm part savage I suppose.

I don't know why but I never got into Carlin... probably because the Cheech and Chong albums came out at around the same time.

Well, I am being sort of lazy today and I'm kind of old... too young to go to the original Woodstock though, my Mother wouldn't let me.
Hapless is 100% correct, even with tinted windows a parked vehicle sitting for an hour in Florida can get to insane temps... metal pieces will burn the ***** out of you until the AC has a little time to work. No way you are putting kids right into that thing. Either I or the wife shop, rarely together... its not like a grocery store is something new or unique.
Like I said, unless its a monsoon Florida afternoon rain... during the summer/fall months they can pop up out of nowhere... I take the cart back to the corral. Heavy duty storm, that cart is sitting right where I left it, too risky to be moving a piece of metal around with lightning happening.
