Since commercial style shopping carts cost around $150 to $200 I'm surprised stores don't keep better track of them, and put more effort into collecting the wayward ones.

Depends on the area. You better believe the grocery store downtown near a an area where a lot of homeless people congregate, and near an area where there are a lot of lofts but not a lot of parking, has those "lock the wheels" things. They'd lose 20-50 carts a day if they didn't."I try to be curious about everything, even things that don't interest me." -Alex Trebek

Quoth Shyla View PostGrocery delivery is fabulous. It saves so much energy.
And with my back and knee issues, carrying cat food/litter/pop . . . I get delivery about every ten days. Makes my life so much easier.

Quoth Smapti View PostI said yes, and he said "Oh, HE MAD". Apparently, said caller had loaded the abandoned cart into the back of his pickup truck, driven to the store, thrown the cart out of the bed onto the pavement, then gotten in the cart clerk's face screaming about "THE LAW", and concluded by saying "If this happens again, I'm gonna find that manager who wouldn't send anyone out, and SHOVE THE CART UP HIS ASS".

Here around nearly every store has a very simple system, so you don't see this behavior very often.
You have to put a coin (mostly 1 EUR) into the cart, to retrieve the cart from the cart-station. You only get the coin back, if you put the cart back.

Plus, when I see someone digging through their purse/pockets for a quarter and getting frustrated, I get a kick out of giving my cart to them.
