this question tears me up. i think it's a chicken and the egg situation with people not returning carts and there being people to set up to return the carts. after much consideration i can say that i don't think that not-returning-cart is indicative of badness, but that returning-cart is indicative of goodness, and the most good is the person who is getting paid to return the carts to their corrals. i miss getting paid to push carts so fkn bad.
