Thanks -- I'm going to delete my previous post it it gets more downvotes -- if this isn't a discussion then who needs it.

Unless OP was just venting his/her whole point was to explain why this is a bad thing and he never explains it.

Separately, I've talked with one of the managers about boxes and cardboard, as it's a broader issue. I won't go into this, because, clearly, the people picking this discussion are not having a discussion.

There are reasons why people leave the boxes in the carts and I want to understand whether this is an issue that just this OP has or whether it's shared by others.

Maybe one day I'll start a different discussion on the cardboard issue -- as I've mentioned I've talked to management about it before. This specific thread just seems so angry.

I would like to hear OP's answer -- but if there's just downvoting before then, I'll just delete my question and move on.
