Hot take: Returning a cart to the corral vs leaving it in the spot next to me

I spent 15 minutes circling a packed parking lot at a Walmart in Phoenix last week, finally found a spot, and watched a guy leave his cart right between two cars instead of walking 20 feet to the corral. On one hand, it's lazy and makes spots tighter for others. On the other hand, cart corrals are sometimes way at the end of the lot and a lot of people are just tired after shopping. Where's the line between being a jerk and just being practical? Has anyone else debated this at their local grocery store?

Saw a guy ditch his cart right behind my minivan at Fry's last week.

No excuse for leaving the cart. None. You already pushed it through the whole store. The cart corral is 20 feet away. That guy is just lazy and selfish. It takes less than a minute to put it back. People who ditch carts ruin parking lots for everyone.
