during covid i have unlocked all the carts at the grocery stores in my old area to have an indicator for how shit it was even though most people did not have to return the cart because it had no coin many did. the only carts that were left wayy away from the store i.e. on remote parking spots were in prediminantly leftist neighborhoods (acab sprayed on the wall of the supermarket and antifa + hammer and sickle on transformer buildings kind of) the neirhborhood supermarket that is sort of upperclass tier has a lot of "rich" boomerswho look like they never worked a real job in their life, there they just return the cart but put them directly in front of the entry / exit area, not back to the line no they just push the cart directly into the exit and entry way and leave it there the stores have now locked most of the carts again but 20% are still unlocked permanently so you dont need a coin, but the behavior persists. occasionally you still have a parking spot or walkways blocked with an abandoned cart, its a fine indicator on how shit your neighbors are when they feel irresponsible
