That or just ignorant of even the most basic laws of physics. You could care less about the attendants. You're just lazy, fat and inconsiderate.

I had a friend who always parked in the most remote spot in the lot hoping his car wouldn't get dinged

If I did, should go into the kitchen and get the meal myself? As for your physics lesson, it only demeans your argument to throw in a variable like an inclined parking lot. Anyone who can handle a vehicle can handle gently nudging aside a shopping cart. Perhaps it is you that need a driving lesson.

It doesn't work when you're in a full lot with one empty (except for the cart) spot and cars all around it.

I used to live in deep South Texas and they are the worst offenders of this in the world. Which is not surprising as they are generally the laziest people you'll ever meet. In Austin, it's not so bad. People are civilized here. And not afraid of a little walking.

My part-time retarded cart jockey son thanks you from the bottom of his heart. While he has other sources of joy in his life (like totaling his car) he primarily lives for people who are suffer from a ego-bloated sense of entitlement and most likely a small penis.

I'd rather see a cart in a parking space than have a run-in with human feces in a public bathroom. But maybe that's just me.

I had a spine injury and they don't put the cart stations near the handicapped parking places. I need the cart for support so if I put the cart away, I am stranded. I do put the cart in front of the parking spot and in front of the bumper thingy so the space is clear. I have done 90% of my shopping at a store that provides grocery takeout service and they don't even have a cart station. I have also discovered that Kroger will take your groceries out if you ask. Because I show up at the cashier in a motorized cart, I don't have to ask, they offer to assist you. I look forward to being able to walk well enough to put carts away.

If I am parking and see an old person, I will park close to them and wait until they unload so I can remove the cart for them. Or help them unload if they need it. sometimes people offer to take my cart too if I've just unloaded.

We used to live in a shit neighborhood and it was seriously like some sort of shopping cart graveyard.

So if the parking lot is full and the cart attendant hasn't gotten back to clear your cart yet, some handicapped driver has to possibly block traffic while they get out and move your cart before they can park?
