Shopping Cart Etiquette



There are many small gestures we can perform throughout the day that make life easier for other people. Random acts of kindness can inspire others to do the same. One example would be serving those who serve you.

Instead of leaving your shopping cart in the middle of the parking lot, why not return it to where it belongs? Simply returning it to the cart corral or front of the store not only makes someone’s job easier, it avoids creating a hassle for your fellow customers.  We’ve all seen that empty parking space ahead only to find it being occupied by a random cart left behind by a thoughtless patron. Some of us have actually had our vehicles damaged by a runaway cart in the parking lot.

It’s a small act that doesn’t require a lot of thought or energy. However, it will be greatly appreciated by all. This is especially true for those who must constantly retrieve random shopping carts during extreme temperatures and weather.
