I rarely even take the cart out to the parking lot. I use re-usable bags
and rarely have more than four bags of groceries, so I just take the
bags out of the cart before I leave the store.

However... I confess that I do not push my perfectly good cart into the
lines at cart parking area. I prefer to leave it out and saving the next
customer the hassle of having to wrestle with a line of carts sticking
together, and knowing full well that no one will take it. People prefer
to have to fight with them.
