The article seems to ignore the fact that many people use the shopping cart as a walker substitute. It's an accessibility aid and it's genuinely difficult for some folks to return the cart and walk back to their car.
Which still doesn’t make much sense because there are already some walkers which are designed to lock into most types of shopping carts. So you just bring the cart back to the stall, detach the walker from the cart, and use your walker to get back to your vehicle.
And your description also doesn’t explain how those who walked all the way over to the carts in the first place were unable to bring the carts back. Carts don’t magically appear beside vehicles. How are people who can make it to a cart be suddenly unable to bring by it back to that same spot? And with many stores, carts are picked up at the store front and returned much closer to the cars than the store front.
And finally, this doesn’t explain how so many carts are failed to be returned. Is 25+% of our population disabled?
I feel for anyone who is in pain and cannot walk far. But methinks you are making excuses for arseholes and selfish twats that vastly outnumber those who have genuine excuses.
I noticed that myself, and confirmed with a friend: when you begin to get some harsh backpain (before getting a surgery), you find it pleasant to go shopping and be the one using the shopping cart all the way through.
You could be right if people drove standing up. When seated, the pressure on the lower back (L3, L4, L5, S1 vertebrae) is reduced and you can drive perfectly.
