Do you hate the grocery stores that put the automatic lock on the basket when you reach an imaginary line in the parking lot?

The 2 stores closest to my house are so annoying you have to park a little bit far from the store because there's never any spots but your basket full of groceries locks up before you can reach your car.
I am so tired of companies not giving a darn about their customers in only caring about their convenience.

Convenience? CONVENIENCE?? People are stealing the carts or taking them to reach their homes and not returning them forgetting that others need to use the carts. Stop being so self-centered and selfish.

@MarkPaul Provides employment for people to go and collect them.
As happens here.

@MarkPaul Those carts cost $400-$500 each. Could you blame the owners for trying to keep their carts from disappearing?

@Crazywaterspring That's my point. What don't you understand?

@Crazywaterspring Of course not but if the grocery store shares a parking lot with 10 other stores why make the line so exact that often the grocery shopper can't reach their car. This is my problem.
Its very difficult to find a parking spot directly in front of the store.
