Last night I needed to charge my FEV at a grocery store. The charger was in use, but the charging space opened up and I snagged it. So Iām sitting in my car, freezing my ass off, when a customer pushes her cart between my car and the one using the charger. I was watching closely because I had little else to do and I wanted to know if they dented my car. The person wedges the cart between the charger cable and my car, lifts one bag and a baguette out of it, and walks away. They just keep going, and I see them get into a car several spots away.
Mind you, they passed one cart coral walking from the store to my spot. Their car was only a few spots away from another cart coral.
I was miffed. I got out of my car, took the cart, and rolled it behind their Mercedes S class. It was about 4 feet away. I waved, and walked back to my car. About 2 minutes later I see the cart rolling across the lot as the Benz backed up. Oops. Not actually my intention. Sorry not sorry.
There you see it- if one thing has to give, in your opinion it's the thing that inconveniences other people.
Have you considered other options?
- parking next to a cart corral
- having your groceries delivered, especially heavy ones like drinks
- asking someone to please return your cart since you can't
Food for thought, by the way: Here in Germany, you stick a coin into the cart to unlock it. And surprise surprise, about 99% of the carts make it back to the corral. Weird how suddenly all unruly toddlers, mobility issues and other reasons not to return the cart vanish.

So in the UK you can take option three of the ones I posted. I don't get how my idea of asking someone (in this case, the personnel) to please return the cart makes me ableist, but OK.
