When a Shopping Cart passes A Special Coded Yellow Line in the parking lot it will LOCK the shopping carts, making it unusable until unlocked by a store staff. When this happens Contact a store staff member to help you get it unlocked. The reason some carts lock is to prevent customers from taking the shopping cart off the store premises. Many stores are using this system, to help keep the streets clean of shopping carts, and so customers can always have carts to use! If they didn't use this system carts would end up on the streets and near homes, and none will be at the store for use! Many stores are using this cart system!

Where do shopping carts go in a parking lot?

When you are done with your Shopping Cart, you can return it to the store, leave it in a Shopping Cart Corral, or a Shopping Cart Area, which usually says "Please return Shopping Carts Here!" Thank You or it may say " Please help keep costs low by returning your Shopping Cart Here! Thank You". If there are no cart corrals or such things like that in the parking lot, then leave it in the parking lot, just find a spot where a cart will fit, without damages any cars. Do Not Take Shopping Carts Off Store Premises!! It's the Law!!

Why do people take shopping carts outside of store parking lots?

So if they have to much stuff to carry then they have a shopping cart to take to their car and put all the stuff inside that they buy but then have have to put the shopping cart away when they are done with it. That answer is why people take if out side the store. However, the question asked, why do customers, take the carts of the parking lots, and most of the time it is because they walk home, and don't want to carry the goods.

If a truck was hit by a shopping cart during a windstorm and the business claims it was an act of God are they liable?

Depends. If you took this to a small claims court, be prepared to answer questions such as: how common are winds of this nature in your area? What is the slope of the parking lot? How long was the shopping cart in the lot? Could you forsee this? Negligence is dependent on knowledge, timelyness and due diligence. Lets say the parking lot was steep (you'll never see one with shopping carts!) The owner is liable just for providing shopping carts. A good judge might mete out a percentage of liability. The answer is no, the business is not liable. The owner of the shopping cart is only required to meet a standard of reasonable care in protecting vehicles (or people) from damage by wind blown shopping carts. This standard is very minimal. If a business checks their parking lot regularly they have met the standard. If they provide corrals for carts and staff the parking lot they have exceeded the legal standard. It would not be reasonable to expect every cart to be gathered immediatly and on the flip side it is not reasonable for a business to let their parking lot be overrun with shopping carts that pose a clear hazard. Of course if an employee of the business strikes a vehicle the business is liable. However if another customer does it that customer is liable.
