It's, like, RIGHT THERE!

Is it difficult to return one's shopping cart to the cart corral? I often see random carts around the parking lot; sometimes they have been abandoned very close to the cart return. I understand that it's a nuisance to return them when it's raining or the wind is blowing at 40mph or you are trying to get your groceries into your vehicle before you are literally frozen into a statue, but still: when the cart return is only 10 feet away from your car you CAN walk your cart over there. I find it highly annoying when people leave their carts scattered around the parking lot, rendering certain parking stalls useless, especially when cart returns are strategically placed around the parking lot to make it easy to return one's cart. Someone has to go collect all those carts. Let's make their job a little easier.
