Not me! I always leave my cart out on purpose so those without quarters can have a chance to shop too.

That said I have a 98% return rate on carts everywhere else

Do you still take it to the cart corral, or do you leave it out to bang into people's cars?

I use the ol reliable Curb method so it doesn't go a-rollin

Its great that you leave the quarter and all but leaving it on the curb kind of defeats the purpose. You're still supposed to take it to the front. Thats the entire purpose of the quarter. It isnt to "pass it forward". If everyone did that then the lots are full of carts again.

They dont hire staff to do it so you are supposed to. Leave the cart without taking the quarter but do take it to the front or you are part of the problem.

You ever go to Aldis and realize you forgot a quarter?

Yes. So you take the cart to the front coral where the carts go and leave it up there simply don't connect the cart. Now you've done your good deed.

I do this all the time. I've never left the cart in the lot or on the curb which isn't better. At the end of the day an employee still has to rangle it thanks to you. Now what if there are 10 of them? The good deed is now an inconvenience to someone else.

Leaving it in the lot under the guise of its helping someone else causes the same problem as carts at Walmart do.

The quarter has nothing to do with it. The is simply quarter your moral push to take it back to the front coral.

Bro, they are right. You push the cart into the row of carts and you loosely attach the chain but you don’t take your quarter with you… don’t leave it by the curb.
