Ever notice empty shopping carts are often not returned to their designated areas?

Some are left around their stalls, but how many are put inside their stalls? They are scattered throughout parking lots, some blocking empty parking spots — or worse — empty disabled parking spots. Why is this so?

Have we become so lazy, so busy, so preoccupied, so rude, or so inconsiderate? How about people simply feeling entitled, thinking it’s someone else’s job to put them away.

It’s not just about one single event, but let’s give a little consideration for the next person, OK?
