What do you do with your shopping cart?

Call me crazy, but I think that I can size up a person based on a shopping cart. "How?" you may ask. Very simple. People go shopping for groceries, clothing or a combination of the two. Naturally they take their stuff to their car in a shopping cart. They put the stuff in the car and then the cart remains empty. Some people are decent human beings and put their cart in the place in each row of cars that house the carts. Others just leave it in between cars or in their own spot in a corner. I assume they do this because they are too lazy to walk a few feet to put their cart in the proper place. The other reason I can think of is that they are in a rush and can't take the minute to put it back. I don't understand these people. Why do they do it? Do people think when they are making this decision? It is either they walk the few feet and take a minute or so of their time, or they just leave it there and skip all that. I guess I understand now.

There is only one problem with this. These people do not consider how it effects others. First, there are the people who want to park in their spot. The cart is in the corner and the car that wants to pull in cannot pull in because the cart is blocking half the spot. The person pulling in has to get out of their car and move it and then get back in their car and pull up. That is the same amount of time that the first person could have taken to put the cart in the proper place. Second, there is the shopping cart itself. Sometimes when you put a cart somewhere it stops for a few seconds but a wind can blow it and move it. Sometimes this causes the cart to bump into a car and scratch it. The person who left the cart there, is responsible. It may be hard to prove, but ultimately they are accountable. Last but not least, the person who collects the carts must be taken into consideration. The person has to walk around the parking lot collecting carts from different collections as it is. Now, they have to collect random carts from different parts of the parking lot. This doubles their workload. On a hot summer day that could be really annoying. If the person who left the cart there in the first place was doing the job of collecting shopping carts, would they want people to leave them in random spots and not in the assigned places? I do not think so. So why do people do it? Why don't people think before they do something? It doesn't make sense. This is how I can tell what a person is really like. If they put their cart back, they are considerate of others and actually think about their actions. People who leave their carts in their spot are the opposite. I am sure that there are other places in life that people can apply this logic to. Please think about your actions. Next time you go shopping, what will you do with your cart??
