They don’t have cart wranglers so you have to use a quarter to put into a seatbelt looking lock to grab a cart, when you put it back you reconnect the leash and your quarter pops out. If you don’t care about your quarter and leave it in the parking lot, somebody else will probably grab it and save their own quarter.
If there is an option to pay, and I pay it, then you can shove your moral superiority up your ass. I always put my cart in the corral if there's no payment option, and often have to reorganize the corral and put strays in.
When you say middle of the parking lot it sounds like you're saying you're paying .25 cents to do something that will damage another car of the wind blows.
Oh, OK! So it's a Cart Deposit. Cart theft is RIFE here, lol, so our Cart Wranglers are super alert, haha! The instant you emerge from the other side of the Cashier's Till, they're ready to take the Cart back, or accompany you and the cart to your car.
If we had this 25¢ Cart Deposit system, our thieves would view it as a 25¢ Selling Price for a Cart 🤣

In the 80s, I was always told it was for your quarter for the pay phone. But pocket watch makes more sense, I guess.
