Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

The correct way to put up your shopping cart is
1) find the nearest cart return to your car.
2) determine distance and then par 1 or less spaces: par 1 ; 2 to 4 spaces : par 2; more than that are par 3
3) determine your lie and windage
4) push the cart from your parking space towards the cart return with the goal of getting the cart in the return

5) Record your score and par for the course
Mom uses a mobility cart when we get groceries while I use a standard basket. But after loading up the car, both need to be returned.

Instead of nesting the basket in a parking lot corral and returning the cart, or making 2 trips, I get on the cart and use my right hand to pull the basket behind me.

And I’m getting stupidly good at accurately slinging my basket at its brethren in the store as a I make the big turn to take the cart to its charging station. I always get it on target enough for it to be in a single column of baskets, but I’ve actually gotten it to properly nest three times so far.

Put a bow on it with a 'LIKE A BOSS' as it nestles in place. Or if you're an Ace Ventura fan, 'LIKE A GLOVE'.
 


FWIW, the WORST chaotic evil thing I’ve seen someone do with a shopping basket occurred earlier this year. Several of us were walking out about the same time. One person decided to grab his two bags out of his basket and carry them to his car. Normally, that’s not a real issue.

But this guy did it at the top of the ramp leading down from the sidewalk to the surface of the parking lot. He literally grabbed his bags and let the cart roll downhill uncontrolled…with cars coming in our direction. Fortunately, I was close enough (also on the ramp!) to be able to grab his now-empty cart without losing control of my full one.

He never even looked back as people were yelling at him to get his attention.
