I do not return shopping carts and people are usually surprised by my reason: Gathering carts is somebody's job. They get paid. I put the cart in the cart corral and leave it there. I do this to support the guy who has that job.
Denis, our Costco stores are clean. Check-out is remarkably fast. They carry only good quality products. These are the features of their business model which have caused their success. I buy everything I can from Costco. I can rely on the quality, and the quantities work for me also. I am not a recreational shopper. I want to minimize my time doing that. I buy toilet paper perhaps once per year and that is because I live with a female. On my own, I'd probably buy TP once every three years. About $30. That's $10/year. And I don't have to think about it for another three years. Their meat section is very good, as is their bakery.
I almost never return anything. Ever. My time and peace of mind are more valuable to me than money. To a degree.
