why return them? There are people who are hired to do this and if I do it, then I am taking away their jobs...
When you go camping, do you pour gasoline on people's bon fires? 
I fan flames.
For future reference, gasoline works just as well to fuel the flames.
I  you.

Re: Judge Judy & Shopping Carts - I wanna hear YOUR thoughts on this.
When I'm by myself, I always put it back where it belongs. If my kids are with me, I try to park as close to the cart parking area as possible. If I can't, then I leave it near where I parked. I'm not willing to leave my kids in the car unattended just to return a cart.

Geez Kara -- don't you care about the environment?? All those fumes burning off from gasoline. Clearly...you are not green.

Honestly, I try to park as close as possible to the cart return, put my child in the car, lock the car and quickly return the cart. I takes 2 seconds if you park right next to it.
I don't have to deal with hail and snow in Los Angeles however

Re: Judge Judy & Shopping Carts - I wanna hear YOUR thoughts on this.
99% of the time I return the cart. When I don't, it is just sheer laziness.
Footnote:
When I was a kid, my mom used to go the Sears Surplus store out in Sound Beach/Rocky Point (can't remember). While she was in shopping, I loved to roam the store/parking lot picking up all the carts. I was around 9.
What does this tell us? Yes, first and foremost that I was a weirdo and perhaps someone should have called CPS on my mom. But I think it also hints at a possible solution.
Let the kids work the lots while their parents shop. It can be like frogger-they can dodge the cars pulling in and out while they collect carts. We can even have prizes.

Re: Judge Judy & Shopping Carts - I wanna hear YOUR thoughts on this.
If I am alone, I will ALWAYS return it no matter what. When I am with my daughter alone, it honestly depends on the weather and how close I am parked to the area where they belong. I live in Queens and EVERY SINGLE parking lot I go to is ALWAYS PACKED. The traffic is insane and I am not risking walking through the lot with my rowdy little girl just to bring a cart back. I always try to push it to a place where it wont roll into another car if I cant return it. I also wont put her in the car and then walk away from it. Not in this neighborhood thats for sure!!!

It is so rude of you to ask what my ethnic background is.

Re: Judge Judy & Shopping Carts - I wanna hear YOUR thoughts on this.
I prefer to go grocery shopping or to Target without the kids.
If both of them are with me, I always try to park within 2-3 cars of the corral. I usually secure them in their seats first, unload the cart, lock the doors and take the cart back.
If I only have one, then I unload the car, lock doors, take him with me to return the cart and make him walk back to the car.

If I am by myself-the cart always goes to the cart return.
If I am alone with DS, and I am near the cart return, I return it. If I am not near it, I leave it and make sure it is stationary. (I am also usually parked far from other cars).
If it is raining or hailing and I have DS, he goes in the car first, then groceries, and screw the cart.

Ditto. Since it is ice cold in NY 9 months out of the year, I always put DC in the car first before I even unload the cart. But I'll add that if I MUST leave it, I never block a parking spot, I'll try to put it off to the front or side.

Always or else I won't get my €1 coin back! 
They chain them together here by the entrance and you have to put €1 as a deposit
