If engineers can invent an iRobot Roomba vacuum that zooms around a floor and returns to its recharging base, I want this technology for the shopping carts. How about that?
Another solution? Create shopping cart scarcity :-) That way, all the shoppers will have an incentive to personally pick up any stray cart because they'll suddenly be in demand.
This way, the shoppers will deal with each other. I hope they're more civilized when someone asks for the cart. It will create a lot of cart stalkers, lol. You know, "you finished with that cart yet"?
This is cheap. Probably could work. I don't think WalMart (the US retail empire) would go for it. They have HUGE carts. They've done the research. The bigger the cart, the more likely a shopper is to try to fill the entire space. Its profitable.
To be honest, where I am at WalMart rarely has carts all over the parking lot. This is more common at random grocery stores.
Is it normal for Americans to leave shopping carts all over the place?

A full fleet of robotic shopping carts sounds expensive.
