I think I get where you're coming from: if the cart wrangler is paid by the hour, what do they care? I'll offer a counter point.

Have you worked in retail? You're assuming the person collecting your wayward cart doesn't have an a-hole middle manager breathing down their neck asking them why it's taking so long to bring in the carts. That lovely stroll in the sun could be a write up for someone who is just trying to get by.

I don't think you're off base with your intentions. I'm all for sticking it to faceless corporations, but I wouldn't want to do that at the potential expense of someone's livelihood.

I personally know two of these cart gatherers and they assure me that these extra steps under the blue sky are the best parts of their day.
