In Europe the carts are chained together. You have to put in a coin (50c, 1 or 2€) to get one. You get the money back we you bring it back to the chain. No big deal. Everyone brings their cart back. No idea why American supermarkets refuse to do this..

Where I live more and more supermarkets don't do this, especially since the pandemic. The coin mechanisms are expensive to maintain, and it turns out that the overwhelming majority of people were raised correctly and will return the cart anyway. Where else would you put the cart anyway? In the parking lane? Surely maneuvering your car around a stray shopping cart can't be more convenient than just putting the cart back!
