What is your store policy regarding carts left in the parking lot when your store closes for cashier service?

Our store closes for cashier service at 11PM. All courtesy clerks and utility people/front end clock out at 11PM if they are scheduled at that time. 11PM to 1AM is SCO. What is your store policy in regards to carts left in the parking lot after your store closes for regular cashier service?

Send everyone on the front end schedule out before 11 pm to collect them.

If there are more carts on the lot instead of in the store, night crew is asked to help every once in a while.

If the lot is full when the store managers get there, every clerk in every department is sent to collect them.

Well, that is how we work as a team at my store....

 Just like night shift doesn't mind walking into a f**k fest mess of empty shelves when all of the product is in the back in reach of any idling courtesy clerk walking around the store on their cellphone. Stocking time is too valuable to waste on rudimentary BS that the morning lackeys are trained to do. That's why they get paid.

 And you've just comepleted displaying exactly what's fked up about today's work/responsibilty ethic, and why you and your kind are in and will remain tied to peasantry mc -jobs, probably the rest of your pointless lives. I'm done here.

they get left for whatever poor bastard is coming on in the morning around 7- 8 a.m.

and, of course, since kroger customers are about as polite and thoughtful as a serial killer in a room full of helpless babies, that same poor bastard has to deal with 20-30 carts scattered around a single corral and at least ten carts just sitting in random parking spaces.

We'll gather what we can before we drop down to SCO only. Anything left stays out overnight; the courtesy clerks who come in early the next morning bring them in. 

I closed SCO for a while (and still do when our closers have vacation weeks.) I'll usually bring in stray electric carts after the store closes, especially if there's rain or snow coming in overnight, but not regular carts. I've also had the night stock lead express concern over me being out there after midnight by myself, even though I was only going to the handicap parking and back or to where my car is parked when I leave. (Note that this store is in a middle-class suburb and is generally a pretty safe area; I'd take the offer of an escort when I leave and wouldn't fetch electric carts if I didn't feel safe doing so.)

It's also something of a safety concern; if I were to slip on ice or something I could be out there for hours before someone realized it. The night crew wouldn't expect me back in and would probably assume I'd clocked out and gone home, and since the store is closed there's no customers coming in or out. A courtesy clerk would be missed or spotted+ much sooner.

It's not as if I'm slacking off in the evenings, anyway; the SCO closer also sorts orphans, cleans registers, fills bags, and does other little things that don't take them too far from their registers (when it's not slammed.)

As if Kroger has ever had safety in mind for its employees.
Try gathering carts in 100 degree weather or during a thunderstorm.

All the while dodging cars pulling out of spaces driven by oblivious idiots like some sort of messed up XBox game.

I find carts all over the lot when I come in before the store opens. Night crew never brings them in, but to be fair I have my own department to worry about instead of helping get carts

 That includes you too. If you far asses cant help condition or do some stock then screw getting carts as well

 Massive thunderstorm? Well, those carts need a washing anyways. But by the time the thunderstorm is over, the carts are a bit cleaner than they were before. We wait until the storm is over before going out to gather carts. No exceptions

 I'd never have my night crew do it. They're trained to do the most important job in the store; stock the breadwinner of the entire facility. Relocating a few carts at night doesn't generate any profit, but stocking sure as hell does. If it's really bad I'll go out as a Department Head and grab some with the USCAN attendant but even that is rare at our store. Also, I agree with the sentiment from earlier in the thread about safety, however whoever is leading the night crew should be keeping constant checks around the store, including on the front end. That person is responsible for everything at night until someone higher up comes in, so if someone does get hurt or abducted in that parking lot that is THEIR responsibility.

My store closes at 12am. All of the nighttime CCs clear the lot. Whatever is left over after they leave is done by the morning people. At 6am (When the store opens), if there's no carts inside and the earliest CC shift is 8am, night crew brings them in.
