A long time ago I worked at a grocery store and I preferred it when people didn’t return the carts. Would you rather spend your day gathering carts outside or gathering carts for 10 minutes at a time and then having to deal with customers?

Customers in the store are bitchy and demanding.

Customers outside the store are bitchy, demanding, and controlling a two-ton machine.

Hard choice.

I was yelled at daily. Never was I threatened with someone’s car.

I wasn't ever explicitly threatened with a car, they were just distracted and didn't care if they hit someone.

Depends on the weather

I’d still rather be outside than dealing grocery store customers in the snow, rain, cold, or heat.

I'm just curious, did you bring the carts in in smaller batches so you'd have to make more trips and the whole task would take longer?

Yeah. Way longer. It’s a much quicker job when all the carts are in one spot and you just bring a long train of them back at once.
