The handicapped spots are the closest to the store anyways. Sometimes if I’m fortunate enough to get a regular spot near the store, the store is closer to the car than the cart corral so it goes back there.
Honestly for the handicapped spots, since they all have those generous loading zones, a cart could easily be left there for the next person.
But seriously, handicapped people don’t have canes or walkers? What do they do when they have to go somewhere and there are no shopping carts to hang onto?
We lean on the carts. It is a giant walker. Once shopping and unloading the cart is done, pain can be bad.
I do not park in handicapped spots, no tag. We park near the corrals. I have seen handicapped people leave their carts near the poles or in the loading zones. I do not blame them.
