I mean... did they walk around with the cart? Were they able to walk from their car, into the store, and get the cart? If the answer to these questions is yes, then they should also be able to return it... If they don't, then they are using the reasoning you put forth as an excuse for laziness. I have had to use the Handicap placard due to injury and was on crutches, I still returned carts when I was finished. In my opinion, the only reason someone shouldn't feel the need to return the cart is if they have to use the motorized scooter carts.

I’m thinking about people who have respiratory issues, or serious joint or bone issues that get worse the longer they’re on their feet. They don’t need a motorized cart, but by the time they’re finished shopping, they’re about to collapse and just can’t walk the extra distance to a cart corral and back to their car. There are a lot of handicaps and health issues that we can’t see. I try not to judge people who park in handicap parking spots, because sometimes there’s something far more serious going on than is visible to onlookers. It doesn’t bother me that sometimes people who park in these spaces don’t return their carts. I give them the benefit of the doubt. I’m sure that, as you said, some are just lazy. But I wouldn’t lump all handicapped people who don’t return their carts into that category.
