Yep. I always roll my cart to the cart catcher (not out of some attempted display of heroism or virtue signaling, but because I don't think that others should have to pick up after me), and usually when doing so, I will see any number of cows just pushing them a few feet away from their cars (such as into the next parking spot).

Zeke, have to apologize. This morning I was going to Sam's Club and left a cart right in the middle of the entrance.

I got gas because it is like 10 cents cheaper than anyplace else, no wait at all if you go prior to the store's regular business opening. I park, head inside to get some envelopes with the little window on the left, sugar free hard candy and a bag of frozen blueberries, for smoothies. I typically go around 0730, because their regular store hours start at 0900, you pay extra and you get a few hours 6 days a week. I think it is the regular membership fee, plus 150%, totally worth it.

I walk in, show them my card and they say, hey, hold on, you can't go in there. I show them the card again, figure they did not see it. No, you have to wait, they are only letting 5 people in at a time. There are 50 or 60 people lined up waiting, under an awning, but a windy, rainy, 40* day. "Okay bye" and turned right TF around, left the cart.

Stopped at the grocery store on the way back, not as bad as my first stop, but very crowded. Don't need a smoothie that bad. Stopped at the dollar store and got the hard candy, I like having it at the desk where people check in and out. Dollar store was a ghost town.

Did not check to see if they had toilet paper

On a side note, why do you think the virus is spreading as quickly as it has? It's not because people in general are super clean.

My commercial building was one story with a flat roof. People would throw their bags of trash on my roof all the time.
Yes, people suck more than anybody.

One of my buddies said the house he grew up in had a neighbor with a large dog. He would let the dog run free, and the dog always came over to my buddies house to take a large dump. His dad would go out with a shovel, and scoop it up, and toss it with a good heave onto the flat roof of the dog owners flat front porch roof. He said there was a large collection up there. Just back in the yard where came from.

I get a roll-off bin delivered, and at least once per year clean up stuff that people dump on the property.

I also have had bums start the dumpsters on fire. I almost tazed one, but my employees had already called the cops, so...

And I always take shopping carts back to the store or the cart corral.

I've got a buddy. He makes maintenance trips on a daily basis to his employers coin op laundry facilities. People take a dump in a washing machine. Sucks but no biggie, just run it through a cycle. But when they take a dump in a dryer.....that REALLY sucks.

I pulled up at a gas station once on a road trip. I don't remember what state it was but a guy was putting on a suit that was almost a space suit, and firing up a power washer. I said something like it much be bad in that bathroom, and he said you have no idea. He said he cleans stuff for a living and he had never seen anything like it. Then he walked towards the bathroom of the gas station on the back side of the station.

I bought something inside the store besides the gasoline and it was a nice store. The guy behind the counter said some meth head went nuts out there and the the owner had to hire cleaning pros to make it possible for humans to use again.
