You return your cart because it's the right thing to do

I return my cart because it gives me a sense of superiority

We are not the same

    I return my cart to get my euro back that I put in to unlock it

    Mr fancy pants here with full euro coins.

    I treasure my red plastic €0.50 coin replica more than my life.

    Why not just 3D print a few more?

    Why 3d print them when the same supermarket gives them out for free?

    Eh, 'cause otherwise people will have to exchange money for coins, sometimes people don't have notes to exchange, etc... Seems like retaining the token is incentive enough to return the cart....

    I'll also go fetch a couple on the way if I see some hanging out. It's not because I'm trying to make the cart wrangler's job easier, but because it's not orderly and it bothers me. I have to consciously limit myself or I'd end up patrolling the whole lot.

    I'm also a cart-straightener

    Blows my mind how some people actually manage to walk their cart to the corral, and then decide they're going to abandon any semblance of order in putting the carts away, you've already done the hard part by walking over, it takes less than a second to just not be an idiot when you push your cart in there.

    Big carts in one line, small carts in the other, seems easy but they all put the square peg in the round hole.

    And at least try to line them up. I don't care if you push them all the way in, just try to line them up so that they can be pushed together.
