I always put things back where they belong and leave things better than you found it.
Winner. That’s what I told my “kids” when I was doing mentoring/leadership stuff: whatever slot they give you, leave it better than you found it. It’s up to your successsor what he or she does with what you give leave.
My wife will return her cart to the designated area every single time. If I get out I use one of the stores EVC and usually will pull it close to my vehicle and make sure it’s turned off to conserve the battery for the next person. Taking it inside would result in a long walk for me on two canes which I try and avoid because each step means pain.
