My local store uses these but they lock up if you bring them out to the 2nd row of parking spaces out front. It’s enough to get the cart to your car, then you go to return it and it’s totally locked, so everyone just shoves them into the planters in a big pile of tipped over carts instead of physically lifting the whole thing and hefting it to the cart returns to return it. The store has signs everywhere now telling people not to throw carts into the planters, and the employees know the problem, and the city has evidently complained multiple times, but district management evidently refuses to believe it’s got anything to do with the cart locks and I was told by an exasperated checker that they’re apparently considering getting security guards to confront people and make them return carts?? lmaooo
I’ve always been good at returning my carts. Sometimes I’ll take it back to the building and sometimes I’ll leave it in the cart thing, but if the wheels locked up every single time, I’d be throwing that shit in the planters too.
Oh yeah, 100%. I’m sure there are a ton of people like me that would self govern until you make it difficult for us to do so. Fuck 'em if they want to play that game.
Yup. Never not returned a cart. The day it becomes actively frustrating to do so is the day I place it somewhere really inconvenient out of spite. Maybe figure out the managers car and corral it in.

Locking wheels would really mess with the shopping cart theory.

They’d be better off getting security guards to help people carry shit to their cars.
Oh that’s going to go down just great. How long until some rent-a-cop ends up under a car?
3 minutes. I give it 3 minutes.
Oh no, not security guards! What are they gonna do, lecture me?
Some Walmart GM must have a brother or something with an anti-theft wheel business because wtf?
