I would like to shame some for always making me put the shopping carts together whenever they just push it in the needed direction from afar and uncleaned or leaving the cleaning tissues in the cart itself.

Really,lately almost every time i go shopping these days i'm putting the shopping carts back in order. :P

Here in USA we have cart corrals in parking lots where you push it into and then eventually a worker comes and gathers them up and pushes them back to front of store.  There is no need to line up the carts in the corral. 

In fact I push my cart into corral the hardest I can push just to see it slam against the metal corral.  Cracks me up and doesn't even damage carts (believe me I try).  Hey least I'm better than just leaving it in parking lot outside corral where it can dent cars.

The store I go to has 'trained' people to bring the carts back by requiring a dollar (or token) to use the cart. They disabled that for Covid19 but people still bring the carts back. The returned carts go on the other side to be cleaned (I clean it myself before and after anyway, just to be sure and courtesy to the guy having to clean them). They use one extra employee to clean and return the carts to the pickup side while keeping count of people entering and leaving the store to regulate traffic. Pretty easy low cost solution.

Much better now, no left over produce and discarded fliers in the carts anymore.

Next to figure out what to make with this, new item in the supermarket. Stumped 4 cashiers :)
