I think its inevitable.
The carparks near shops are prime land, even just a few hundred feet squared could be worth half a million dollars.
What I see is shops providing small wheeled baskets only, for larger amounts (say a cart full) that would have to be delivered (or picked up).
The profit for this would way supersede what is currently in place. Trolley collection alone is generally a half million dollar service per year at each shopping complex.
Oh and to answer others who say that leaving their cart anywhere keeps trolley/cart collectors in the job, its just not true. Trolley/Cart collectors must pick them up at many designated return areas and then push (at least 10 at a time) back in.
If everyone placed the trolleys in the return trolley designated spots the collection business would continue as per normal. I find people (other than say parents who can't leave their kids alone) who do not wheel their trolley back to where the closest grouped area is, to be very lazy.
Is it normal for Americans to leave shopping carts all over the place?

Everything online via delivery. Some places do this. Same day delivery too ex. Manhattan - Amazon
How about having a drone deliver it all to your doorstep?
