We typically have 'cart corrals' placed throughout the parking lots --
where yu stash your cart after you've emptied. Folks mostly pick up
their empty carts inside the store, in the entryway between the two sets
of double doors. Where some of the specials are placed -- pop,
typically, and lots of others, now that i think of it.
