Shopping Cart Rudeness

What is it with people who leave their shopping carts in the checkout lane and just walk away with their packages (and by 'in the lane' I mean they themselves had to walk around it to get to their bags at the end of the lane)? Do they think some magic grocery fairy is going to come and move it for them? For anyone who wonders--when you leave your shopping cart directly in the checkout lane--THE PERSON BEHIND YOU HAS TO MOVE IT!

Get a freaking clue.

I'm astonished that anyone in Iowa would do such a thing!

Well, I've never seen anybody do it here in IC, but it's very obnoxious.

I know! And it's happened to me on several occasions. I can't imagine what they're thinking, but if it happens again I'm going to finally overcome my astonishment and ask them.

"What, the store employees have something to do besides rush around behind *me* moving my discarded cart? How can that be possible? Am I not the Most Important Person in the Entire World? Hey, as long as I have what I want, why should I care about the people behind me?"

Or maybe they're just not thinking. But I tend to think those people are very self-oriented and generally thoughtless.
