Would you really have punched him in the face? He probably just wanted
to take a walk outside. Taking the cart to the car is a way of breaking
the routine. I don't *need* them to do it. If there is a line behind
me I say, "No, thank you". I'm perfectly capable of loading groceries
in my car. I also *always* push the cart back to a cart corral rather
than leave it all willy-nilly in the parking lot. If there isn't a line
of people behind me I figure they just want to take a walk outdoors. I
don't have a problem with that.
