They say that it's the ultimate test of selflessness, because it doesn't benefit you and there's no recognition for it.
But does it cancel out the selflessness if I'm now thinking that every time I return a cart? "If someone sees me, they'll know how selfless I am..."
Honestly unless you believe there is inherent good in doing that (religion mostly, morality for some) then no. It doesn't make sense to work for free, to not have returns.
If recognition is a form of payment then good on some people, though I personally think recognition can be a drug, and religion justifies my good actions for me much better.
Point is keep on doing good, and maybe consider that the slightly tidier and cleaner space you leave was worth the effort. Surely someone would have seen you and thought "damn, I should do that next time"
It doesn't make sense for the individual unless you consider that they live in a society. You would be annoyed to have to retrieve a wayward cart and by returning your cart you enforce the expectation and social pressure on others to do the same. I don't think it's selfless to treat your environment with respect, it's in your own best interest most of the time.
Oh, I make sure they see me.
