Well that works out well. Nobody else usually wants those spots, presumably because you're more likely to get nicked by an errant cart there. Seems like a win-win.
Excellent! Though, you would be surprised how often they're taken just because they're the closest available spot.
And agreed, my car does get bonked by shopping carts fairly regularly when I'm in those spots.
My car has cameras that monitor the exterior when I'm parked, and the amount of times I've come back to watch a video of someone on their phone and just ramming the cart directly into the rear is... more common than you'd think.
But! They were returning the cart, so it is kind of a win-win, I think.
