Also it is kind of a US thing while it works in europe (dunno about the rrst of the world) and if anything that just shows that people are capable of learning stuff like that qnd acting collectively

    Wait what? There is actually a thing where people don’t return shopping carts? I thought it was a metaphor or a joke. I’ve lived in the US my whole life and I’ve probably seen less than a dozen unreturned carts. Am I in a strange bubble?

    I think it's pretty location dependent, but I agree, it's not a very big issue where I am at least. Where I am you still see them, but it's not a massive issue. It'll only be a few, if any.

    Apparently, or you shop at stores where the workers are good about retrieving them. I probably see at least half a dozen stray carts every time I go to a store that has carts (fewer for smaller stores, more for larger), and I've definitely had a few roll into my car. I've lived in several different states and it seems identical everywhere. My partner works at a small grocery store and confirms that it's a constant, all-day battle to gather the carts left all over the parking lot and surrounding area.
