I don't mean just returning your shopping cart to the cart area, but actually sliding it back in. At my grocery store, some people half ass stack it back in or don't at all. This drives me nuts because when I come to return my cart I have to fix the mess before I can return mine. Plus, I don't want the workers who collect the carts to do any more work than they already do.

I caught this one guy who was returning his cart and I had to wait until he was done. Instead of stacking his cart, he just left it there in front of the stack and I said, "C'mon man!" He was surprised and said, "Oh!" then immediately stacked his cart.

I actually prefer not to stack it completely but just put in the beginning of the lane (which are separated by metal bars) so the next person doesn't have to go all inside the lane to take their cart (they can be several meters). It's still tidy in its lane and the next person bringing back a cart can just push mine forward with theirs.
