Hourly wages of cart-pushers are baked into the cost of goods at the store, regardless of whether you return the cart to the collection point or to the indoor cart stack or not at all.
This is done for the median American who is too lazy to travel more than 20 yards out of their way without starting up a car to do it.
Roughly 2-3% of labor at a large retailer is cart pushing.
