What is more bothersome than the carts are again, the people. Followed an old guy yesterday.....walking in from a parking space pretty far out......walking down the middle of the road. Completely oblivious to the 5 or 6 cars creeping down the road behind him. Or the people that rush to get inside the door, then come to a dead stop blocking all traffic as they get out their list or phone or whatever. Again, act as if they are the only person in the place......completely unaware there are people around them. When it's a tough choice between a name brand and Great Value, some will throw out an anchor and stay awhile. Waited on one lady close to 5 minutes once. She never moved.

Very true! Now they stock shelves in the daytime, and have employees pushing the carts around filling orders for the people too lazy to shop for themselves. Between the stockers and the employee-shoppers it's hard to get through the store.
One Walmart near here has NO cart returns close to the store, but they are on the outskirts of the parking lot. Makes no sense.

Why do some people do what they do? Maybe its laziness. Or just not considerate.

I have many times picked a cart that was out in the parking lot and posed a threat to vehicles.

And often they weren't far from the cart correl.

some of his friends have done it longer all moved on to better jobs

the moral is very very low at Wally

people show up and give their 10%

don't work to fast or too hard or co-works will be mad at you

your there for hours not tasks


As someone who has worked at Walmart, and who also has a family member that currently does, there's a lot not true here. YES new hires work at whatever scheduled spot they're needed in, which is true of almost every retail or other minimum wage type job. So of course they might work 6am-2pm one day, and 2-pm to 8pm the next. Hiring personnel in most big business pay NO attention to the hours you put on your app. If he'd have complained about the extra hour, they would have accommodated him, because Walmart is one of the BEST companies as far as accommodating their menial employees.

Not sure WHY moral would be low at Walmart when they bend over backwards to accommodate their employees. If someone can't fit in at Walmart, forget them ever getting a meaningful job elsewhere!


a friend used to be the manager of that store , things were much different it was a place full of happy friendly employees
different stores can be very different the same store can be very different under different managers
the local employees only see what the local management shows them.
maybe it also made a difference that this was mid covid


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I found a very friendly cart pusher at Wegmans in Lake Manassas,VA. Rural King in front Royal, VA also has a friendly cart pusher. I also like Aldi.

Our walmart does a good job keeping the carts back in.....its the handbaskets I could scream about. There are hardly ever any at their station. And them darn buggies always lock together and you have to fiddle with them to get them unlocked.

The Wal Mart here had to put Security sensors in the baskets because so many were taken out of the store by thieves. That was a couple years ago they did that, I think they've only got about 10 left at each entrance. Why someone would steal a basket is beyond me.

I usually get a basket as I don't plan on getting that much per trip. I stop in early in the mornings sometimes on my days off to see if I can catch any ammo on the shelves. I usually don't. That and I check the clearance area too.

Above the carts is the return area.

Probably figured they had to use self checkout so instead of Walmart paying a cashiers wages they can pay cart boy wages....

8 times out of 10 it's lazy customers. It's another example of the sense of entitlement found in Americans. No respect for others. Body work isn't cheap. As I return mine I'll often grab 1 or 2 sitting less than a foot from a parked car.

I suspect most of the people who leave carts loose in the lot litter too.

I would venture to say most Americans are on the lazy side.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the next wave of technology.
Wonder whose intelligence they injected into the bots?
Maybe the bots will return carts when they get done shopping.
