If you find yourself struggling to return your shopping cart to a corral, consider that it might be easily solved by parking more wisely.

It is far easier, if you will be using a cart, to park further away in close proximity to a cart stall than to park up close and have to walk a good distance to return the cart.

I will pass up a close spot for a spot next to the cart return every time.

Added bonus: one side of your car won’t have a car by it if you can get right next to the cart stall.
