Unpopular opinion: If the parking lot is uncrowded then there’s nothing wrong with leaving your cart in an empty spot. Its not like the workers are gonna be given an extra breaktime if they don’t have to collect carts, the store is paying the workers per hours and will always make sure they have tasks to do 100% of the time no matter what happens. I’ve even heard online multiple store workers say they prefer collecting carts over many of the other tasks they have to do.
So if you aren’t giving the workers more work to do, and you aren’t inconveniencing other parkers, then i don’t see any harm in leaving a cart in a random empty parking spot of an uncrowded lot.
EDIT: just for the record, i do always return my carts, but i also think in some situations it’s completely pointless

Oh, a random person asserted a claim based on nothing? Well then, point well proven

Still wrong. It’s been well demonstrated that there is always a point, be it courteousness or safety. Even if someone thinks it’s doing some kind of favour for the workers, it’s still creating an obstacle and/or hazard for other people using the parking lot.
At the Walmart, I am careful to leave them in the center of the parking spot designated for our law enforcement partners. I’m sure our law enforcement partners find this kindness to be convenient, and time saving for them.

You’ve failed the test.

Stay mad, savage.
Yes, I’m fuming. Quite.
Randomly placed carts are in the way and there is no reason ever to not put them away.

Ok, there is one reason.
