Not really related, but the lost cart thing reminded me...
I went to Safeway on Friday to get meat and some other stuff for dinner. I wandered away from my cart for a bit (5 minutes?) and when I came back, it had vanished.
A few minutes later, I saw a grocery clerk running my specific pieces of meat and my veggies back to their respective homes. I stopped her, and sure enough, they were the meats I had grabbed (price, etc. was the same.)
So in your world, how long does a cart have to be abandoned before the staff considers it abandoned?
