I'd say it's conditional. At a certain point, it's on the business themselves. For example, a giant parking lot with one or two cart returns only, in a front corner.
A massive sprawling Walmart parking lot with only one return, and I had to park really far away, and it's super busy and trying to get the cart to the return requires going through multiple rows? I'm a goodie two shoes who will clean up after others, and tries to improve places... but I've got limits with time, effort, and desire to deal with crowds of people in parking lots.
If they have good placement though, then yes, it's absolutely on the individual.
Unless you have a medical reason for not being able to walk to the front to return it, you're still an asshole if you don't.

I doubt you can judge someone as bad based off that
EDIT: I'm gonna go with better terms here: Not responsible enough and ignorant, I still don't believe someone can be considered bad as a person for this.
There are two main reasons you wouldn't return carts to a cart return location:
-
Fuck them people
-
My time is worth more than this
At the very least the person is inconsiderate, and worst a complete psychopath. Both are not great signs, and all the ones between are also not positive aspects.
You'd think something that small wouldn't be much of an indication on a person's overall nature, but it's nearly always the little things that add up to the whole thing.
Yes. How one thinks of/treats hired help is a big clue.

There's two possible scenarios
- you think your time is more valuable than others, thus making you an asshole
- you simply don't give a fuck about inconveniencing others, again making you an asshole
It's actually a great indicator as to their view of the social contract and obligations to others.
Someone sounds like they are projecting...

"You can easily judge a person's character by how they treats those who can do nothing for them."
... or something really close to that. I'm too lazy to look up the actual quote right now.
If they're mean to waiters, cashiers, janitors, etc.
Additionally, whether they think someone has money, influential friends, etc determines whether or not they treat a person well.
Being unable to admit they are wrong or don't know something. I feel like it's one of those traits that snowballs into someone coming off as obnoxious and elitist
God, reading all these comments while baked in a hammock was a trip. I highly recommend the cart saga.
Everyone can be a friend when it's easy and convenient. It's during the bad times, when they suffer and it's not so easy to keep cool, that their true values or lack of come to light.

Animals don't like them.
My special needs kid is terrified of pets. And they react in kind -- animals that are sweet toward a smiling, calm person will lose it in his presence.
Is anybody "bad" here? This seems like the worst kind of judgment based on initial appearances, rather than understanding.
Haha this can be a good one, especially dogs, they are great at sensing people. But they are living things too, and they can be wrong as well. Also sometimes we could misunderstand them, maybe it's not that they don't like someone, maybe they are hesitant towards new people because of a bad history with humans until the dog met it's current owner. A lot could be applied.

I'd say it's when they get angry when you tell them the impact their behavior is having on you, instead of actually trying to have a discussion and sort the problem out.
Or they get angry with you for enforcing your boundries.
Or they gaslight you about your boundaries..
My personal favorite is when they gaslight you about whose “fault” it was. Failing to recognize that boundaries were only enforced because of decisions they made.

Not to bring Trump into everything, but yeah... Trump supporters. Bonus level of shittiness if they have a maga hat.
Literal blood on their hands, bodies falling out of their ceilings and closets, and/or being a billionaire.
"I call them how I see them."
"I'm just brutally honest."
"I'm just telling it like it is."
These phrases are used exclusively by rude, obnoxious, condescending assholes trying to justify being shitty to other people for no reason.
Folks who opt not to clean up after their dogs. Particularly in public areas.

"I like people/politicians who tell it is like it is!"
This always means expressing popular grievance with a particular style that scapegoats everyone else for a group's problems.
