As a little boy my parents taught us to put our cart back where they belong. They also taught me that if you are crossing the parking lot and a car is coming to stop and let the car go and then cross and if the car does stop for you, give them a little wave to say thank you. I am amazed on how many people walk right out in front of cars like they are not even there (especially in parking lots). To this day, when driving if someone takes the time to stop and let me out in traffic I give them a little wave just to say thanks, just as my dad did 50 years ago. To all the parents out there, do the right thing your kids will learn from you and hopefully do the right things too.

Seeing shopping carts left all over the parking lot just ticks me off. I am 70 years old and very arthritic. If I can push the cart to where it belongs there is no excuse for healthy people to leave them by their car. So disrespectful.

Yes and it’s effecting everything, sadly. I’m sure you get the extreme end of people’s egocentricity in your line of work. 🥴

Aldi has the right idea. Make them pay for using the cart - refund if the cart is returned. Many times people who are finished reloading [in the parking lot] will offer their carts to those making their way to the store. It's fun to do the quarter swap - a good way to be neighborly . . .Godspeed Cornstars.

To not put away grocery carts is egotistical. We all live on this planet together, we should care for each other, even if it’s inconvenient.

As a kid maybe 9-10 years old my mom had a bad back. We used to go to a store called "The Mart" in Grafton, MA shopping. We would get in the store and no carts because nobody brought them back. She would send me out to get some carts for Mr. Roth that owned the store. All the time she was shopping I was gathering carts from the parking lot and get big old smiles from old man Roth every batch of carts I brought back in the store.

In the UK you have to unlock your cart with a coin before you use it, the only way to get your coin back it to take it back to the trolley park - keeps the car park a lot cleaner and saves you bumping into them in your car

The only grocery store that does that over here in the States is Aldi. It took people a bit to get used to it and remember to have a quarter ready! And people still leave carts out at Aldi, but usually it's a little act of kindness for the next person to not need a quarter vs being lazy.

Here in Canada at Superstore we use a dollar coin, and do the parking lot swap coming and going too. We all have a loonie handy for the shopping carts. A loonie being our one dollar coin with the bird the loon on it. (So of course the two dollar one is a toonie.😊)🍁

Back 38 years ago my first job was at a grocery store. Cart corrals were not a thing back then. Especially in bad weather, I always put the cart in the corral. I remember what it’s like.

although I generally always put my cart away I sometimes give my self grace if I’m in a big hurry. On the other hand, I sometimes do a quick tidy up of the carts so other people won’t get obstructed. I won’t lecture anyone who isn’t as tidy as me but I I do like to share a little smile with those who are. 😊

DC, your attitude and perspective on issues is so gentle. You don’t get mad at the boys or the situation. You just deal with it. So many of us grew up with that “WHAT DID YOU DO?” “WHY DID THIS HAPPEN” voice from our parents/partners. And that’s not the point. Sometime things just happen. You allow people to mess up, get it right and move on. Very healthy and supportive. 💝👍🏻🙏🏻

If that gorgeous scenery doesn't remind you of the "Wizard of Oz", then you've probably never seen the movie. That scenery is just absolutely spectacular!!!

We put the cart in the cart corral when we're done with it, but when we find a shopping cart in the parking lot, we do use it if it's close to the car. We love Ellie a lot and really enjoy her in the videos.

I was always taught put the carts in the corral, still do to this day. Thanks for sharing! Keep on feeding America!

You are right, we need to put the carts in the cart corral. I love seeing Ellie, I have 3 Australian shepherds.❤💙💜💜

In the past, I haven't always returned my cart, but I heard someone on youtube say that one day they felt that they "should" be doing that, and after that started returning their cart, so that made me stop and think that I should always do that too. A funny sort of off shoot story is that there was one grocery store parking lot we used to go to, where all of a sudden the carts would almost seem to decide on their own (I know it sounds weird) to just quickly take off all of a sudden, and start rolling fast across the parking lot, sometimes running into cars parked there. It didn't happen with all of them at the same time, but just one would do it. I had mentioned that to my husband, and the last time he and my daughter were there (several years ago now, so I don't know if it's still happening) they also saw the same thing happen. I know wind can cause carts to turn and go sometimes, but this was different. They almost looked as if they were being pushed quickly. It was really odd. Haven't seen that happen at any other grocery store parking lot like it did at that one either. Yeah wind might cause them to move somewhat, but not quickly start rolling at high speed across the parking lot though lol.

I put the cart back..if everyone kept their end of the pond clean,we would all be a lot better off! Its 1 cart for me, many for the attendent. God sees your effort!❤

Where I used to live in Kansas, if you didn’t put the cart back where it belongs, someone would chase you down and watch you put it back! I now live in Florida, nobody cares, they just leave them anywhere. I’m so very proud of my daughter for teaching my grandsons to do the right thing and have respect!

I once heard someone say that when you don't put your cart away in the corral that it's like stealing from the merchant because now they have to pay an employee to do it. Truth is the employee could be paid for doing some other job instead of running around the parking lot to gather the stray carts. Same thing as throwing out the garbage or not putting an item back where you got it when you decide you don't want it. It's a matter of integrity.

I always put the cart back. My parents taught me this and I passed this down to my kids. I think it's the respectable thing to do. Keep up the good work, Daddy Cornstar. I'm glad it wasn't anything more serious than a flat tire on the tractor. 😊

It's just so nice when people take their carts back. It helps those poor kids when it's so hot outside or cold and wet . It's a hard job to begin with . I know because I did it for almost 6 years . I actually had someone tell me once that if everyone put back their cart I wouldn't have a job . Being thoughtful makes you feel good . Thanks for pointing that out .

One of my biggest pet peeve’s. Lazy lazy people. It boils down to hurray for me and the hell with everyone else. No sense of social responsibility.

As a teenager (1970s) I worked part time at a grocery store and my absolute favorite job was being outside in the fresh air collecting grocery carts but back then they didn't have cart corrals.

You would, however, refrain from throwing food on the floor and make sure not to leave your plate on the floor by the front door.

Hi Daddy CS. I'm the self checkout Goddess at a busy grocery store. The cost of food includes the cost of hiring people to run around and gather carts, pick up garbage, clean the place. When someone leaves a cart rolling around the parking lot or throws garbage around, they are driving up the cost of your food. A civil society would teach its children to be more civilized. I grew up on a ranch and spent all the time I could out with my dad. I really enjoy hanging out with you and your team...

We put the shopping cart in the cart return. Heck, we will even straighten up the cart return if there isn’t a lot of them to wrangle.

i take my shopping cart back into the store

Ellie is still a pup as my dauchsund is. No longer has baby teeth but still has that chewing desire on everything, especially their human family. Love to watch how she has imprinted on you as well as her daddy.

That is a good question that has been asked in many classrooms for years and years. When presented with this scenario, someone can decide to do what is best for just them or they can decide to do what will help everyone as collective whole. Some people do not have the mindset to feel obligated to help the collective whole (society). Some people do. I am proud to say I am someone who is willing to think about the collective whole. I put my cart back because it helps others and takes little effort on my part. We just need to help the others change their mindset so they see why it is important to work as a collective whole (society).

I’m so glade you have one kid who cares about the farm

I usually put the cart in the area with other carts, except at our local WalMart, where I will leave it near the handicap parking space where we usually park, because so many people that have mobility issues like to use a cart to walk into the store. Trying to seal a bead on a tire with either is very dangerous, especially when you have a bead blaster that is designed for the job.

People just do not have the same level of respect or consideration for others that we grew up with Daddy Corn Star. We are a dying breed.

My dad was our local farmer’s tire guy. He was out in the field changing a tractor tire. It ended up falling over cause it was propped up on a forklift and it paralyzed him from the waist down… 5 months after it happened he was back at.

I typically put my cart back in the cart corral.

I'm with you on putting the shopping cart up yourself. It's a courtesy to have a shopping cart, not a right. Just like driving is a privilege, not a right. People are getting lazy today and they should be thankful instead. Glad Cooper just had a flat tire and nothing saver wrong with the equipment. Great video DCS.

I’m glad you bought the subject up. Canadians are always returning the shopping cart to their proper places after unloading them in our car. For instance, Costco has places to return your cards through the parking lot and they’re not far from your car. But I have noticed Costco shoppers leaving the cards anywhere in the lot, which is disgusting when you come in to park your car there’s always a shopping cart in the way. Also, Costco has a shopping cart that prevents the wheels from going around when leaving the lot so therefore their carts are always in the lots not somewhere down the street a mile or so.Other grocery stores has a 25 deposit return when you return a shopping cart that seems to help customers return the shopping cart to the proper area after unloading which is a good idea. Home Depot, Lowe’s and other lumber stores always have a place to return your car and most people do that that I can see. I have no proof, but I think people who don’t return their shopping cart to the proper areas, and garbage out the window of their cars are foreigners. I like to believe the Canadians has more respect. That’s my opinion.

I used to take my carts back, but nowadays I have COPD so bad that I ride the mall carts and bring a cart guy out with me to help do the heavy lifting, then they zip away and zoom the cart back in, no problem! 🤗

DC, you are such a gem. Stay happy and healthy!

As a person with mobility issues, I appreciate someone leaving a cart in the parking lot so I can make it into the store!

Me too. And I always leave mine near the disability parking space.

I put carts back in the corrals. The only exceptions I would allow carts out in the parking lots, are the handicapped and elderly and moms with small kids in the car. I usually help them by taking the cart after they unload, that way they can skip taking it to the cart corral and a smile to be exchanged with a "Hello, may I take your cart?".

I always put the cart either in the rack or take it back inside the store, rain or shine. I remember back to when the box boy would push your cart to your car and unload it for you, no tip expected, it was just their job. Then people would take the carts to their cars themselves and bring the cart back inside the store. Next they provided cart racks or corrals. The common thought was that was really nice of the store to make it easier for the customer by not having to take the cart back inside the store, so of course you put your cart in the designated area! They provided a courtesy for me and I would be courteous enough to put it where it belongs. It is a real pet peeve of mine when people don't put carts where they belong. I think it is the epitome of laziness!

Cart in dedicated corral as described earlier. A " runaway " cart can do considerable damage if it hits a vehicle. It is nice however to see a cart easily accessible next to selected handicap parking. Makes it easier for the Individeal to walk across parking lot and into the store to begin shopping.

On the matter of grocery carts; the first time I ever went to an Aldi's, I was blown away by the shopping cart rack; all the carts had a receptacle you had to put a quarter in to get it released from the rack. When you brought it back and put it in the rack, it gave you your quarter back. The store manager said that got most of the carts back with no help from his store personnel- only about 10% needed picking up. Then I saw the same thing for baggage carts at the Omaha airport. They worked the same way, but it was the gate workers and car rental people who rounded them up to make the money for lunch.

I’m with you DC. It’s “common courtesy” that unfortunately is becoming less and less common with every passing year. 😕

We have a grocery store called Aldi and they are as discount grocery store. They have their cart locked together and you put a quarter in to release. Amazingly there is never a cart left in the parking lot.

Sometimes people return carts at Aldi but don't lock them up again - so there are little acts of kindness for the next shopper. If I get a cart like that I'll take it back to the vicinity of the cart corral but leave it for the next person.

I agree with you, DC. I return carts to the Corrals, or the sidewalk near the door if it's closer. I also will take care of carts others leave if I park near o E, or take it in to use. C'on people, don't be lazy.

Another great video . Beautiful rainbow ❤

The right thing to do is to put the cart in the cart return when your finished using it. Let’s do the right thing folks!

I always return the cart to the cart return. But as I was reading some comments here, it reminded me of the days when the box boy would always take the groceries out to the car and load them into our car. Many times he would run the cart and hop on for a ride as he was taking it back into the store.

I shop at Aldi, use a quarter to unlock your cart, you get that quarter back when you return the cart. Keeps the parking lot clean of runaway carts.

As a former cart attended I can tell you if I was out working the lot and someone left there cart without putting it in the return spot it wouldn't bother me as it would just be easier for me to stack them in groups of 10 and push by hand all the carts yes we was forced to by hand ✋

❤ DC you have a way of brightening up my day. Keep doing it. I like the content and you're humor. You ALWAYS do make a good point. The grocery carts was a good one.

My Mom and Dad always put the shopping cart back up at the front of the store where they got it in the first place. They always taught us to put things back where we got them so that's what I've always done and still do.

When I was a kid I would go with my Mom or my Grandmother to the store It was my job to take the cart back to the cart coral. I still do this. I am in my 70s . I don't think I have ever seen a wheel packed with that much dirt!

Hello DC! Always put my cart up! Thank you for sharing! Love Ellie hair cut and yours too! Hello Summer! God bless your family!

I agree about so many people being "self absorbed". Parking lots are dangerous to walk and drive in!!! I always take a shopping cart or two or three in with me. I'm going to use one so why not take them in, use it and leave it in the store.

I find it amazing that most senior citizens (like myself) tend to return their carts to where they should be. The other day I mentioned to a women (can't call her a lady) that she shouldn't leave her cart in the middle of the parking space beside her because someone will want that spot. Her reply was the store hires people to come and corral the carts and return them to the store and if she returned it to where it should be she would be causing someone to lose their job. The warped reasoning she used to justify her laziness floored. I think that the Aldi's store has the right idea where you have to unlock the cart with a quarter to be able to use it. When you are done you return it to the cart line you use the key in the cart in front of yours to get your quarter back. It is seldom you will see any carts in the parking lot. A side benefit is a lot of people who don't want to return the cart offer them to someone else going in to shop so it saves them that quarter. I know it's not much money but I am the type of person who will bend down (not easy at my age) and pick up pennies that people drop on the ground.

Awesome video guys. Thank you

So many folks are just plane lazy. I take to the rack so I don’t block parking spaces. If I’m at small store and they have no corral, I take it back inside.

DC- Shopping carts- One of my earliest jobs (I think I am your age), was as a shopping cart wrangler. The thing was, we had a retirement cewnter about a mile away from the store. Every day, I'd go down there, and every day, I'd finf 15 to 20 carts to bring back. DC- Do you know how difficult it was to wrangle those carts across TWO major streets, in normal city traffic? Wanna guess how hard it was in 2 or 3 feet of snow??? Wanna guess what happened if we didn't go over there every day? Yeah! 30 to 50 carts, or two trips. I am not goping to lie- it was not enjoyable. So, a small part of me says, "yeah, leave it in the parking lot", and, yeah, I do just that. And, the carts cannot be taken out of the parking lot, as there is some manner of sensor that will lock up the wheel. Also, the store I shop at? It hire people with special needs and abilities to get the carts. It also hire retired people to get those carts. If we all put the carts back, what do you think happens to those folks? Yeah! I am protecting their jobs!

You all have a really cool family!

In regards to the shopping cart issue. I typically require help to get to my truck. And the person that helps usually returns the cart.

Always enjoy your videos DC. Good to see Mama Cornstar.

Some places, you pay a dollar to use a cart. You get the dollar back when you deposit the cart in it's proper place.

Yup cart goes in the corral, may grab a stray one when I first get there to go into the store with

At our local stores I will take the cart back in the store! At big stores like walmart I still put the cart as neat as possible in the cart rack!

I agree with you. People have become so Lazy and disrespectful. People need to put the carts or buggy back.

I like that you are doing videos now on a regular basis. I reallly enjoy your channel. I live in California and watch you and Cole's channel. 👍😁

Thanks and GOD BLESS 😀

I always park by a cart correll. This way, I don't have to walk it across the parking lot. Love your videos, DC. Sure, miss Summer's videos.

I always wave at ppl who let me go first Its nice to have someone be considerate

I do 2 things: Park as far away as best as I can, especially at home centers, where no one wants to park and always take a cart from the cart corral and return it to the same place. In essence, I avoid the disrespect and the callousness of others because as I have had too many cars damaged by them.

Sadly, in England most supermarket trolleys require a coin to be put into a lock to get it out of the rack, and if you want that coin back you have to bring it back. Not surprisingly we don't have many trolleys left by cars. For those supermarkets that don't do this you often see trolleys all over the car park and even by the side of the road up to a mile away as scroats use them to go home with! As we have no policemen patrolling they know they will get away with it.

That's the problem with those stiff tyres, sometimes in high grass or weeds you don't notice they are going flat until they separate from the rim.

I like it when baskets are left in the parking lot so when I exit my car I have one to grab on to, to steady me when walking right away. The store I go to have lower paid people to gather them, A couple of the people are slow mentally so the store will hire them to do menial tasks.

You are right. Unbelivable some people...😮

I always take my cart to the cart corral (unless I’m picking up an online order, which is most of the time)…or i take it back inside the store if there is no other place to leave it (like Walgreens).

I always get a cart on my way in the store! It helps folks, alot. There is always someone finished putting groceries in the car. I'll grab one from the corral if need be. If everyone did this there would be fewer carts to deal with in the parking lot.

Daddy Cornstar, I always take my grocery store buggy back into the store after I unload my groceries into my car. I never leave it in the parking lot or in the outdoor holding area. I do this to help the grocery store attendants and it gives me twice as many steps for exercise.

Supper glad I got to watch this video 😊

In Australia, you have to insert a coin to unlock a cart in the store and then reattach it to a line of nested carts to get your coin back. Good idea

Can’t wait for the next episode

I agree with you about shopping carts . It makes me mad to see able bodied people to not put up their cart . I'm disabled but I put my cart where it belongs . They don't put the collection areas for carts there for looks

I worked at a grocery store thru high school so I always put my cart up and any along the way.

You should always put the carts up, help keep the carts lasting longer & keeps them from blowing around in a strong wind possibly damaging your vehicle . Don’t be Lazy!!

My husband and I put the carts back. We don’t want them to roll into our car or any other cars. Also we can use the extra steps.😁

I watched a woman leave one randomly in a parking place in a WAL-MART. She went to Home Depot right after leaving WAL-MART. I zip tied a grocery cart to her passenger front car door. Myself and 5 other people waited for the woman to come out of Home Depot. I put her cart in the corral at Wal-Mart.

Back about 30 years ago when I worked in a grocery store shopping carts refurbished cost $85.00 each. So I always try to put them back cause that cost goes back to you.

Hey mam a cornstar .you and daddy cornstar raised some mighty nice children .love those babies too

I or my hubby always puts the carts either in the cart parking spot or park them in the store! This is common courtesy so they won’t roll and hit someone else’s car and put a dent in it.

I usually return the shopping cart to the coral however, there has been a time or two where circumstances were not best to allow me too. That question is not any different really about using self check out lanes. LOL

Some vendors in Canada now charge you $1 or $2 to get a shopping cart because the lazy shopper left them all over the lot. You get the fee back when you return it.

I know the moral correct answer is, yes I take personal responsibility and put the cart in the proper place (most of the time) but to point out one thing, I remember when a bag boy always walked you to your car and put your groceries in it then took the cart back. Now you have to check yourself out and bag your own groceries. I mean what the heck? I do not understand how it is that customer service has gone down the drain while prices have increased and wages have decreased. The profit margins have gone insane because the whole country is forced to feed a stock market to give the illusion of prosperity.
