Some stores seem to have removed about half of icart returns. My Costco barely has any, same at the two Walmarts in town. The Costco is only a couple of years old, so its parking lot was designed without them. Cart gets pushed up on the median. Both Walmarts actually took them out. The store is who broke the social contract. At least it gives some employee a chance to walk around outside for a while.
Seems wild. Are employees not a relevant cost factor?
The Walmarts just seem to have not replaced their cart corrals over the years. The ones they still have are bent from being hit.
Costco really seems to have been intentional. The parking spaces are wider than average so even if there are cars parked already on either side of me, that I can easily back out and use any cart left there. The medians between parking rows are full of rocks with no walkway.
