Unpopular opinion: Shopping cart returns went from a hassle to a must-do for me
I used to ditch my cart in the parking lot, thinking it was no big deal (back then, it just saved me time). What changed my mind was seeing a mom with a toddler trying to dodge loose carts on a windy day. Now I always push mine back, realizing how a small act can make things easier or harder for others. It's a gray area, I know, but that moment flipped my view from 'not my job' to 'everyone's problem'. Looking back, I see how lazy habits can pile up into real annoyances for people. So yeah, I'm that person who returns the cart every time now.
