But he has cerebral palsy which made walking back to the car without the cart for stability difficult when he was shopping alone. He actively liked if someone left a cart in the handicapped hatch mark area because then it would be close so he could grab that going into the store and be balanced against it.
He did know it wasn't ideal though, and I'd take the carts back when I started shopping with him.
Shouldn't, but people absolutely do judge them! They also judge if they think you shouldn't be in a handicap spot period. So many people get huffy when they see my (what appears to be) able body get out of the car then...oh shit, my visibly disabled husband!
Every rule has its exception, it makes sense that physically handicapped people shouldn't be treated as strictly with rules concerning physical activities.
I take it back into the store because it's closer than the nearest corral. Or I take my bags out before I go into the parking lot and leave the cart in the lobby cart storage.
Idk. I put my cart back but I have heard an occasional decent argument why someone wouldn't.
One of the biggest ones is a single parent shopping alone with multiple small children. I get that ideally the cart corral probably isn't super far away, but leaving small kids alone for even a short period of time must be nerve wracking and not always safe depending on the area and climate.
Now there's more than one and they're running mental gymnastics to claim that pro-social behavior is simping for corpos. Special kind of entitled faux-leftism there.
