There are only three scenarios where it's MAYBE forgivable to not return a shopping cart to a corral.
1) The corrals are already way too full and adding another one would stick out into the lane. If the cart collector doesn't give a shit, why should I?
2) You're in a parking spot in one of those huge parking lots at Walmart/Target/Costco/Whatever and you parked at the very end, which would take a few minutes to get back to a corral. (Don't feel bad about the cart collector when this happens, I used to return carts at one of those stores and I always liked it when I saw carts way at the end of the parking lot because it meant that I could take a nice little walk and get some fresh air away from annoying customers for an extra 10 minutes. It was nice.)
3) The store is ghetto as hell and there are bums everywhere to the point where you can't even get to your car without getting accosted.
All that being said, it's not the point. What pisses people off about not returning carts is that people leave them in the parking space and it's infuriating to drive around a parking lot, see an open space and some dickhead left a cart there preventing you from parking in it. It's selfish behavior, the least you could do is leave it between the spaces so there's still room to park.
Buying groceries is a luxury but the process is a pain in the ass and little inconveniences really get to people when they're out shopping for necessities. What's funny is that the reactions from douchebags in these videos prove that, even though they're the ones inconveniencing other customers. It's like everyone is completely out of fucks to give.
