why it is so hard to push a shopping cart to the shopping cart return area in a parking lot? I really don't understand it.
I guess in certain situations, I could see how it might be difficult. For instance, if you are shopping with more than one child under the age of five or so (and it's just you and the kids)... then yes, by all means, please get the children in the car safely and don't worry about the silly cart. The elderly, infirm, or other-wise incapacitated should probably also get a free pass, though hopefully they might have some help out with the groceries.
No one else has an excuse. You're busy? So is everyone else. You're tired? You had enough energy to go shopping. Take a nap when you get home.
And while we're at it, why not push a few stray carts back to the store on your way in?
I once saw a man exert more energy to lift a cart up onto a grassy median than it would have taken him to push it to the cart return not 15 yards away. What's up with that?
I just don't get it. So please, if you have any insight into this phenomenon, please share. Until I am enlightened on this matter, I will continue to cringe at the site of the parking lots littered with carts. To me it is a symbol of our societal laziness and disregard for others and it's not pretty.
